*Pollination Guelph is dedicated to the conservation and development of
pollinator habitat for current and future generations. We promote awareness
and understanding of the role of pollinators in achieving local and global
environmental sustainability goals and showcase pollinator projects that
are a model for citizens and communities throughout Canada and
internationally.*
Our Annual Pollination Symposium is on Saturday, April 2, 2016!
*Pre-Register by Sunday, March 27 to Save!*

*Are pollinators really in decline? What plants are best for attracting
bees and butterflies? How can I get my local government involved? I'm just
one person - can I really make a difference?*

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, or any others related to
pollination and pollinators, then you need to attend our Pollination
Symposium on Saturday, April 2 at Dublin St. United Church in Guelph,
Ontario. Open to the public, this day has something for everyone.
