Pollinator Week Bioblitz
Join the Pollinator Week Bioblitz on iNaturalist! Be a part of this community science project and help collect data on the distribution of pollinators across the United States, Canada, and Mexico during Pollinator Week (June 19th-25th). This project is easy to join, and consists of taking pictures of pollinators and the flowers they are visiting and uploading them to iNaturalist to be included in the dataset. Sign up and learn more at the link in our bio. This community science project is hosted by the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign's (NAPPC) Pollinator Communications Task Force. Stay tuned for new Pollinator Week Bioblitz resources coming soon!

| Activity Name | Pollinator Party |
| Is this a public or private event? | Public |
| Event Description | Join us to help monitor pollinator biodiversity in a rewilded meadow on-site using iNaturalist and field-guides. For roughly 100 million years, insects and flowering plants have lived in harmony, with insects transporting nutritious (for them) pollen from plant to plant so that seeds are produced. This ancient symbiotic relationship is essential for human food security and the persistence of all wildlife. Pollinators also support healthy ecosystems that clean the air, stabilize soils, and buffer the planet from climate change. Today, these relationships are at risk as pollinators and plants can respond differently to cues from a warming climate. Our community-led monitoring will help to support sensitive and threatened plant and animal species. |

Vintage Books will have his titles on site and Doug will be signing copies of his books after his talk. Doug’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In his new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature’s Best Hope shows how people everywhere can turn their yards (or patio pots) into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitat. Festival visitors will be able to talk with pollinator experts, see live bees, pick up pollinator-friendly plants and seeds, and tour on-site gardens. More than 25 agencies, universities, artisans and local businesses are participating this year. This is a free, outdoor event with family-friendly activities, pop-up Farmers Market, food trucks and music. Dress for the weather and bring your hat, water bottle and a friend! |

| Event Description | Join Stephey Baker, a local creative and avid urban gardener, during Pollinator Week as she guides you step-by-step in creating a small bumble bee drawing. You don’t need to be an artist in order to participate, and it’s okay if you’re a little scared of bees and other things “buzzing” in the garden. If you’re a lover of flowers and plants, and are excited to experience the beauty of this hard-working super pollinator, then this class is for you! Through the process of creating your own bumble bee drawing, you’ll learn how to identify the bumble bees in your backyard; why bumble bees are 2-4 times more effective pollinators per bee than honey bees or solitary bees; what to plant for pollinators regardless of the size of your yard (or lack of it); how to distinguish wasps, hornets, and the flies that mimic bumble bees; why bumble bees are an annual insect; and more! Stephey is enrolled in a pollinator steward certification program through Pollinator Partnership and is excited to share what she’s learning with you. Come celebrate National Pollinator Week, get creative, and be informed by all the buzz in a relaxed and inspired environment. |

| Activity Name | Centennial Day of Service: Plantation Agriculture Museum |
| Is this a public or private event? | Public |
| Event Description | Gardens have been important to the people of this area throughout history--- they've been sources of food for the first American Indians to farm on this land, they've supplemented the diets of impoverished tenant farmers and sharecroppers, and they've provided a connection to their home for relocated Japanese-American farmers during the Second World War. Today at Plantation Agriculture Museum, we maintain a vegetable garden to share the stories of all of those people who farmed this land before us. We invite you to come out to the museum to lend a hand tending to the gardens. Work opportunities may vary based on garden and weather conditions, but watering and feeding plants as well as weeding around vegetable plants in a raised bed are among the chores that may be performed. In addition, we would like to recognize the beginning of Pollinator Week and the importance of bees' role in agriculture by constructing a few native solitary bee homes. Native solitary bees are great pollinators of gardens. Help us make them feel at home in the gardens at Plantation Agriculture Museum! #ARStateParks100 |
