Climate Reality Project

As Chair of the The Climate Reality Project: West Michigan Chapter, I am passionate about climate education, action, and advocacy. Our presentations provide insight and strategies to connect your local actions with regional priorities and goals, as well as a trained network of individuals across the country.

Pollinator Stewardship

This presentation we will share resources, trainings, certification, and upcoming projects to participate in locally. We will cover who our pollinators are and what plants are vital to their recovery. As part of my certification training I am pollinating my neighbors and communities in West Michigan with ideas about tiny actions with big impacts to support our pollinators, right in our own backyards. Our presentations and workshops inspire and delight with science-backed info, resources, and actions!

3D Printed 
​Native Bee House


Workshop
​May 20th, 2023

Prosperity Forest 


​We designed and  3D printed a native bee house for your backyard’s busiest pollinators!  Catch the buzz in this outdoor workshop.

​The Montague branch of the Muskegon Area District Library has a Maker Space which inspired us to build a better habitat for our crucial pollinators, Michigan’s native bees. Our workshop is a fun way to customize your “3DB House”: Paint it, place it, and learn how to maintain it in an outdoor hands-on workshop hosted by Prosperity Forest, a wooded regenerative pilot on the Shores of Lake Michigan. We will provide examples of alternative materials and construction approaches to native bee houses as well. Materials provided, 3D printed
 bee house included.
