*CLASS CANCELED*

Come explore and learn about pollinators! In this class we will learn basic identification skills of insects commonly found on flowers. We will talk about bees, wasps, flies, beetles, butterflies, and more!

With both a lecture and field portion, we hope you will leave with a basic understanding of pollination ecology, the ability to identify common pollinating insects, and knowledge to begin supporting native pollinators in your own backyard!

There will be an indoor and outdoor portion. You may want to bring a notebook, pen/pencil, as well as walking shoes, sunhat, and water bottle (prepared for being in the sun).
