National Pollinator Week
National Pollinator Week
For 2010 and 2011, I co-organized this community event with Dr. Michelle Duennes, A.K.A the Polly Nator! For the month leading up to National Pollinator Week Michelle and I worked a booth at the Urbana Farmers Market discussing the importance of pollinators for food production.
At the end of National Pollinator Week we hosted all day events that included:
- Nature walks led by The Prairie Monk
- Insect photography workshop by Scientific American Blogger Alex Wild
- Honey Tastings
- Nurturing native bee workshop
- Native bee identification workshop
- Live concert by Duke of Uke and His Novelty Orchestra
