All About Pollinators!

Explore our DIY activities and videos to learn All About Pollinators!

Learn about the important role pollinators play in nature (and our food supply!), and some of the threats that pollinators face. Learn how YOU can help provide for and protect pollinators, and the importance of conservation for creating healthy pollinator populations.

Videos and at-home activities:
Our Environmental Educator and our partners have created videos all about pollinators.  If you’re a teacher, homeschooling adult, or a member of the generally curious public, these are for YOU!

Livestream:
On April 17th 2021 we held a Facebook Livestream that showed pollinating insects and habitats that attract pollinators. Special guests joined the livestream live on-location from Airlie Gardens, the New Hanover County Arboretum, and the City of Wilmington!
