Join us for the Great Florida Pollinator Count! Participation is easy! Simply sit in front of a blooming plant with insect activity already on it for 15-minutes, and observe. While observing, record the number and type of pollinators that land on the plant using our provided count sheet. Once your session is complete, simply upload your counts to the Great Southeast Pollinator Census website! You can do this in your own landscape, or join one of the many Pollinator Parties that will take place around Marion County! In 2024, Florida joined Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census! This program started in 2019 with three primary goals: Increase sustainable pollinator habitat, educate the community of the importance if insects and their role in the environment, and provide useful data to research through citizen science.
Since 2019, over 2,500 pollinator habitats have been planted as a result of participation in the pollinator count, over 12,000 participants have participated in the count, and the data generated from these states are already contributing to research studies across the southeast!
Join us in sustaining our pollinators and their habitats, one count as a time!
