Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved in making the changes that we need to make to save our pollinators and our planet.  Citizen Science, teaching kids to respect nature, planting native plants are just the tip of the iceberg of what you can do to help!

Be a Citizen Scientist

Monitor Something!

Saving our bees and other invertebrae like dragonflies, relies on submitted observation, widespread data collection and participation from citizen science projects.

These projects help determine areas in need of regenerative or conservation efforts.

Teach Through Fun

Get the kids outside!

Nature adventures bring about teachable moments that are most often remembered when learning is FUN!

Spiritual connections are made with each noise heard, each fragrance inhaled, and each texture touched while walking or playing in the parks.
