Research to Practice Webinar Series "Keys to Effective Pollinator Partnerships with Schools Webinar"

We will explore a case study on the design of a pollinator habitat garden with grade school age students.  Discover what makes native pollinator conservation such an effective way to engage students and teachers in hands-on science exploration.  This webinar will guide you with lessons learned on the effective education on this critical topic. You will take away important tips for how to create lasting pollinator gardens with schools and other community organizations.
