One of the core components of Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA (BCUSA) is having a quality integrated pest management (IPM) plan that emphasizes pesticide reduction and pollinator health. To help, this fall we’re excited to launch a new IPM Plan Toolkit to guide affiliates as they create or improve their IPM plans.

We'll be unveiling the full IPM Plan Toolkit in a webinar tomorrow. If you haven't already registered, please join us!

We want everyone to get involved with pesticide reduction in their communities, whether or not they are a part of BCUSA. Feel free to pass along this invitation to anyone you feel would benefit.

About our guest presenter

Aaron Anderson, Pesticide Program Specialist at the Xerces Society, will share these brand new resources and review why IPM and pest reduction is such an important BCUSA commitment. We’ll share some examples of affiliates doing creative IPM work in their communities.

This session is appropriate for all Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA affiliates, including grounds staff; city or campus managers; and community members.

This free Bee City USA webinar is hosted by Xerces Society and will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel on the Bee City USA playlist. Auto-generated Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.

See you there!
