MBC Meeting: A practical guide to restoring pollinator-generated biodiversity
April 29 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Please join the Menotomy Bird Club on Tuesday, April 29th @ 7:00 PM at the Jenks Center, 109 Skillings Road in Winchester as we will have Robert J. Gegear an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at UMass Dartmouth presenting – More than just the buzz: A practical guide to restoring pollinator-generated biodiversity (and why it matters)
Plant-pollinator diversity is declining at an alarming rate across New England, pushing many species to the brink of local extinction unless urgent conservation measures are implemented. In this talk, Robert will discuss using species-level ecological data to vastly improve recommended plant lists aimed at restoring bumblebee and butterfly diversity on degraded landscapes including how ‘Beecologist’ citizen scientists have used data-driven conservation approach to successfully restore pollination diversity ranging from home gardens to multi-acre conservation lands.
Doors open at 6:30 for set up and social time and the meeting starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
