Happy Pollinator Week! Although pollinator conservation is a big task, it all begins with each of us adopting four simple steps: growing pollinator-friendly flowers, providing nest sites and shelter, avoiding pesticides, and spreading the word. With these core values, you can create conditions to support the entire life cycle of pollinators in any location.

Special Event: Who's Living in Your Pollinator Garden?


Your pollinator garden is visited by all sorts of beneficial insects, from bees to predatory bugs to lacewings. This June 25, join Xerces staff Jennifer Hopwood and Aaron Anderson for a discussion on how to identify and monitor the amazing invertebrates that live in and visit your pollinator habitat.
