Pollinator StewardshipThis 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!
