Results: Pollinators June/July 2025
Published on 07/18/2025
Butterfly and bee sighting have become low in recent years. This is a concern for pollinating fruits and vegetables to bring food to our tables. Staring with your June observations, I will create surveys to collect your information to see if we are making any progress to increase our pollinator population.
