<span class=apple-style-span>Join Vicki Wojcik, Research Program Manager for
Pollinator Partnership, to learn about what pollinators are and why they are
important to us. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>This webinar is part 1 of the new Pollinator
Project hosted by The Tributary Fund, thanks to the support of the Gilhousen
Family Foundation. A second webinar in this series, How To Plant a Pollinator
Garden, will take place on Thursday, March 31 at noon (Pacific). Faith-based
attendees from the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Portland</st1:City>,
<st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State></st1:place>, area are eligible to
apply for seed funds for their pollinator gardens (applications due April 1).
An Open Garden Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, May 11, for all <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Portland</st1:place></st1:City>
participants. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Vicki Wojcik is an optimistic ecologist and city
dweller that believes human populations and the natural world can coexist. Her
graduate research focused on understanding the factors that influence the
occurrence of bees in cities. This focus on pollinators in human-dominated
landscapes has continued into her professional career. As part of the P2
science team Dr. Wojcik develops and manages studies that investigate how
pollinators interact with managed agriculture, industrial lands, and urban
landscapes. Dr. Wojcik also works with the P2 consulting team to restore and
rehabilitate private and corporate lands for pollinators. Vicki received her
B.Sc. Honours from the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Guelph</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> in 2004 and her
Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy, & Management from UC Berkeley in
2009. Her work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, books, magazines,
and industry publications. Dr. Wojcik also holds an appointment as an adjunct
lecturer in biology at the <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">California</st1:PlaceName>, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Berkeley</st1:place></st1:City>. When she isn’t professionally
planning and managing landscapes for pollinators you can find Vicki in her home
garden in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City>
helping the local urban bee population. </span><br>
