Join OCPF at this lecture by Aaron Anderson, Pesticide Program Specialist from the Xerces Society."Protecting Pollinators from Pesticides"
Populations of many pollinator species are declining, but our residential landscapes can play an important role in their conservation, as yards and parks are able to provide habitat for these species. We will talk about how to provide year-round pollinator habitat, discuss the risks pesticides pose to invertebrates in towns and cities, and learn tips to protect your garden habitat from contamination.
