Our Adamah (Earth) Initiative is offering two part series in the next month with Ecologist Stephanie Schuck! And then we’ll meet to plant our own Pollinators at IHC on October 4th!
Helping our Native Pollinators to Thrive, Part 1 —Sunday, August 23, 4-5pm
Zoom Presentation with Restoration Ecologist, Stephanie Schuck
While bees are our most famous and prolific pollinators, they are only one piece to the pollination puzzle. Learn about pollinators in Indiana and around the world, and delve into the intricacies of their invaluable role. Stephanie will discuss issues our pollinators face, such as habitat loss, and how you can build native pollinator gardens and advocate for conservation of native habitats.
