Let’s BEE smart and learn about this critical species!
National Pollinator Week is just around the corner and we’re pollen out all the stops to protect our pollinators! Join us for a free virtual event (on Zoom) to learn about the un-BEE-lievable importance of pollinators, the threats facing our pollinators, and how you can help protect them.
Globally, pollinator populations are declining at a startling rate and there are many factors contributing to this trend. From the widespread use of toxic pesticides to habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity, these stressors are having a detrimental effect on pollinators and putting our ecosystem and food production at risk. Join us and learn more about the decline of pollinators and the actions our panelists are taking to combat the decline!
Date: Thursday, June 25, 2020
Time: 12:00pm-1:00pm
Adrienne Esposito, CCE Executive Director, will lead a discussion with our expert panel:
Deborah Klughers, Master Bee Keeper and owner and operator of Bonac Bees, will share her perspective as a bee expert (straight from the bee yard!);
Daniel Gilrein, a well known Entomologist at Cornell Cooperative Extension since 1987, will discuss the science on bees and other pollinators; and
Dan Raichel, a staff attorney and a member of the Lands & Wildlife program for Natural Resources Defense Council who has worked for years to protect bee populations from toxic pesticides, will discuss legislative and policy solutions.
Register for this free event today so you can hear from these experts and ask them questions! Once registered, you will receive a web link (via Zoom) that will allow you to join the discussion.
Thank you for joining us. Together we make a difference!
Sincerely,
Your friends at CCE
