Cornell Forest Connect will hold two one-hour Pollinators in the Woods: Understanding and Creating Forest Pollinator Habitat webinars on December 16th at noon and 7 pm.
Native bees, butterflies, flies, and other insects pollinate many of our forest plants and make sure that species like red maple, tulip poplar, willows, hawthorns, and many of our spring and summer wildflowers, can produce fruits and successfully reproduce. Pollinators are also an important food resource for many forest organisms, like birds, amphibians, other insects, and some mammals. Healthy populations of pollinators in our forests also benefit plants in adjacent agriculture lands, and may increase crop yields.
These webinars, presented by Kristi Sullivan, Director of the Master Naturalist Program at Cornell, will explain what you can do to enhance habitat for pollinators in your woods.
