South Florida’s native insects and pollinators are important to our ecosystems yet they face many threats. Loss of their populations impacts human health, too, so their biodiversity is important! This hands-on program builds on this month's focus on native insects of South Florida.
Conservation strategies to support healthy urban environments will be our focus, concluding in a fun game to test your skills. We will also have a hands-on demonstration of how to make an insect hotel!
In conjunction with ECO Agency Conservation Committee at University of Miami.
