The Great Southeast Pollinator Census in Cape Canaveral

Join us for a free pollinator census on Friday, Aug. 22nd, beginning at 9 am. This census is open to the public, and the survey only takes 15 minutes, so share this information with your family and friends!

We will only be meeting in Veterans Memorial Park in Cape Canaveral at 265 Polk Ave, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920.

You can arrive anytime between 9 am and noon. When you arrive you will receive training for identifying the pollinator groups of Carpenter bees, Bumble bees, Honeybees, Wasps, Flies, Butterflies/Moths, and Other insects. Each census survey is only 15 minutes. Please bring a chair, hat, beverage, and a timer (like the one on a cell phone). Copies of the Great Southeast Pollinator Census Observation Sheet will be provided. To participate, you must fill out that sheet and upload your data to the GSEPC website.

The Southeast #PollinatorCensus is a citizen science project created by the University of Georgia. This project is designed for everyone in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and now Alabama to participate in pollinator conservation!

The Great Southeast Pollinator Census was created by the University of Georgia Extension Services in 2019, and three major goals were identified for this citizen science project. The goals include creating sustainable pollinator habitats, increasing the entomological literacy of the citizens, and generating useful data about our pollinator populations.
