What will you learn?

Global pollinator populations are in decline for many reasons including
habitat loss and overuse of pesticides. The Greater Atlanta Pollinator
Partnership (GAPP) was initiated in 2009 due to the housing boom of the
1990s and early 2000s. Over a 20-year period, approximately 162,000 ha of
pollinator-friendly native green space/ tree canopy were lost with an
increase of 81,000 ha of impervious surface. Join Jennifer as she discusses
the goals of the GAPP, including encouraging restoration, development, and
registration of pollinator habitat at an ecologically significant landscape
scale, restoring pollinator-friendly habitat, and educating the public
through formal and informal programs.



Pre-registration required.
