TALK DESCRIPTIONS


Bring Back the Pollinators
Scott will discuss the importance of insect pollinators, what groups of
insects provide pollination services in North America, and conservation
actions that can be taken to provide habitat for these essential insects.
Scott will highlight simple steps each of us can take to support
pollinators. 

Citizen Science and Invertebrate Conservation 
Scott will take a look at how citizen science can help wildlife conservation
programs, and give an overview of the citizen-science projects Xerces runs
to build knowledge of bumble bees, migratory dragonflies, monarchs, and
freshwater mussels.
