Learn about the vital role native pollinators play in our own gardens. This class will explore the challenges pollinators and their preferred habitats face, including pesticide use, invasive species, and habitat loss and fragmentation. Participants will also learn simple, everyday actions they can take to help pollinators thrive. We’ll wrap up by highlighting statewide programs that can help you maximize your impact, including the Utah Pollinator Habitat Program and tips for writing a successful request during the upcoming grant application window.
