Planning Short Course
Bees, butterflies, and other insects pollinate more than 85% of flowering
plants and many fruits and vegetables. In many places, however, this
essential service is at risk.
This groundbreaking full day training will outline the latest science-based
approaches to reversing the trend of pollinator declines, and will equip you
with strategies necessary to protect and manage habitat for these important
insects.
