Why Pollinators Matter More Than You Think

  • Wing Haven's Elizabeth "Pepper" Dowd Education Building 248 Ridgewood Avenue Charlotte, NC, 28209 (map)

With Gabriella de Souza

What do your morning coffee and your favorite chocolate have in common? Both depend on pollinators, and both are more vulnerable than most people realize. In this talk, we explore the science of pollination, the ecological relationships that sustain our food systems, and what is happening to pollinator populations around the world and right here in North Carolina. Audiences will leave with a deeper appreciation for the natural world and practical steps they can take at home to make a difference.
