Community Engagement Through Native Planting and Wildlife Coexistence

Research Specialist Amber, Community Education Specialist Andie, and Nonprofit Specialist Julia discuss how your animal organization can “bee” more friendly to bees and other pollinators! They offer insight into how bees and pollinators can support your sanctuary (and can help support you and your efforts), actionable tips on how to support pollinators, and ways to educate the public on how to support them as well. We also talk about how to safely promote bee and other pollinator presences for sanctuary residents and caregivers.
