5lcrtIE6GWg_HCE3> Taking place during the 2013 International Conference on
Pollinator Biology, Health and Policy

Pollinators are essential to our environment. The ecological service they
provide is necessary for the reproduction of more than 85% of the world's
flowering plants. Despite this, the essential service of pollination is at
risk. Habitat loss, alteration, and fragmentation, as well as pesticide use,
and pathogens have all contributed to recent pollinator declines.  

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service are pleased to announce an upcoming
Pollinator Conservation Planning Short Course in Pennsylvania. This full day
training will provide you with the latest science-based approaches to
reversing the trend of pollinator declines, and will equip you with the
recipes necessary to protect and manage habitat for these vital insects.
