National Pollinator Week: June 20 - 26

Pollinator Week is an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats, beetles and other wildlife. Animals which help with pollination are vital to our delicate ecosystem. They help to support terrestrial wildlife, provide healthy watersheds, and more. Pollinator Week is a time set aside to spread the message of the importance of pollinators out to as many people as possible. Following are several websites where you can find more information on pollinators and what is happening in your state.
