Speaker Series: Gardening for Pollinators

Gardening for pollinators and protecting pollinators in our communities

Guest Speaker: Angela Laws

Join Angela Laws from the Xerces society to talk about insect pollinators. We will cover the basic biology of insect pollinators. We will also talk about the conservation status of some of California’s insect pollinators, as well as the causes of population declines in these important animals. We’ll also talk about what we can do to support pollinators in our communities.
