Pollinator Walk

Join Deborah Perkins, “The Personal Ecologist” and owner of First Light Wildlife Habitats, on a Pollinator Walk around Broadturn Farm. It’s a great time of the year – let’s get outside! Meet our native pollinators out in their native habitat. Observe, identify, and understand these fascinating insects. Farm, field, or forestland, you can see these great species at work. Learn the ecological and anthropogenic importance of pollinators, as well as what habitats they prefer.

This event has a rain date of August 10th.
