Do you love fresh garden vegetables, flowers, and food security? We have many native pollinators to thank for these, the busiest of which are our bees!

Awareness has been growing about the challenges faced by native and managed bee populations in recent years. To increase awareness about pollinators and the importance of conserving their habitat, EALT has run an active Protecting Pollinators program since 2016. As part of this program, we give presentations to community groups and offer workshops on how to build bee hotels to support native bees. Currently, we can’t host these large gatherings, but we can still reach out to our community to tell you how you can help the bees!

To kick off National Pollinator Week (June 22-28) EALT will be offering our Protecting Pollinators presentation over Zoom! Our presentation will be live on June 22 at 6 pm MST. We celebrate pollinator week to raise awareness of the challenges faced by pollinators, and learn how to help them. Read more about how pollinator week started here. To join our presentation, you will need a computer or a phone, but a computer is recommended. A webcam is not required.

Register for our presentation here, and email Meghan at meghan.jacklin@ealt.ca if you need information on how to join in by phone. We hope you can join us!
