Celebrate National Pollinator Week by learning about these critical species and how we can support them and our environment.

Want to learn more about our native pollinators, the threats they face, and how to help them thrive? We can all contribute to the conservation of these species that provide us and the plants we love with vital services. Dr. Sally Valdes, representing the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, will give a presentation on pollinators, with an emphasis on bees during National Pollinator Week.

Join us in person at the Burke Branch Library or virtually on Zoom via the registration button for this hybrid event.
