Bring Back the Pollinators: Conserving California’s Native Bees and Butterflies

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation brings you this two-part webinar series. Join us to learn about the importance of pollinators, their natural history, and actions each of us can take to help protect pollinators in our cities and towns. This will include creating pollinator habitat, finding pollinator-safe plants, protecting pollinators from pesticides, and community science efforts you can participate in. Information will be general to California.

Part 1: Intro to Pollinators and their Conservation Status

• In part one of our two-part webinar, we will talk about the importance of pollinators and learn more about their natural history. Next, we will discuss the conservation status of native bees and butterflies (including the western monarch) and reasons so many of these species are declining.
• Speakers: Angela Laws and Sarah Hoyle
