​POLLINATOR Citizen Science

What is Citizen Science?

Pollinator based Citizen Science is a way for all people to contribute to the knowledge base of the sciences of ecology, conservation, and educational strategies based on protecting and conserving biodiversity.  As we develop our citizen science contexts we are creating relationships with students, governments, professionals,  and the public. Our projects include Butterfly Counts, native bee inventories, and native plant inventories.This will help us to create assessments and conservation strategies that will provide for profound opportunities to engage in pollinator conservation.  Stay tuned to this website for information.
