Topsham Public Library, 25 Foreside Road, Topsham, Maine & Whatley Farm

In this interactive workshop Deb will guide workshop participants through the observation, identification, and ecology of pollinators. She will also discuss pollinator habitat needs and environmental stressors, as well as what you can do to create high value pollinator habitat on your property. Following the indoor presentation, we will be making a field trip to Whatley Farm, who has graciously invited us to walk their property in search of pollinators.

Please bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, a hat, and a hand lens if you have one. The field portion of this event may not be suitable for those with difficulty navigating rough terrain. If this is the case, please feel free to join us for just the classroom portion of this workshop. This program is funded by USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service through agreement number 16-1218-17-005.

Cost: Free to attend, but pre-registration is required.
