The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service will hold a 90 minute Wetlands and Pollinators: How Water Quality Can Benefit Pollinators webinar on March 31st at 2 pm EST
Wetlands are vital–recognized for their importance in protecting water quality, enhancing agricultural production, strengthening community health, and providing wildlife habitat. This webinar highlights how wetland protection and restoration can also support pollinator and other beneficial insect conservation.
Pollinator Conservaton Planners Sarah Nizzi and Rae Powers will discuss the habitat needs of pollinators, the critical role native plants play in wetland communities, and how to determine which plant species are appropriate for your region to enhance biodiversity and improve wildlife habitat. They will broadly review the use of Farm Bill programs to restore or preserve wetlands that can also create pollinator habitat and highlight successful, pollinator-friendly USDA projects on wetlands.
