🌿 Community Awareness Day
Smith Mountain Lake State Park
March 21
Free & open to the public
Insects are Earth’s keystone species. They pollinate our food, build soil, recycle nutrients, and support nearly every ecosystem on the planet — including right here in our own backyard.
This family-friendly event will include:
• Educational exhibits
• Guest experts
• Hands-on learning opportunities
• Community partners
• Outdoor exploration
Whether you’re a curious child, a gardener, a teacher, or simply someone who loves nature, this event is for you.
Let’s come together to learn why the smallest creatures often have the biggest impact.
🌎 Because when we understand insects, we understand how to protect our future.
