September 5, 2019 Pollinator Event

Honey bees get a lot of press, but they aren't the only pollinators in our gardens and landscapes. California is home to over 1600 species of native bees, and many can be found in your backyard. In addition to native bees, there are also butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, and other pollinators.

I'm excited to announce that we've partnered with Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Xerces Society to bring a class all about pollinators! 

You can sign up for our event at http://ucanr.edu/pollinators/2019 It's being held Thursday, September 5, 2019 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. in Harvest Hall Rooms D&E at the Stanislaus County Agricultural Center.

Please join us for a fun evening of learning about native pollinators, the plants and habitats they prefer, and the best way to “invite” them to your landscape! Free wildflower seed packets for participants while they last.

We are asking for a voluntary payment of $2 per person to help pay speaker mileage fees.
