NPSOT A Love Affair with Pollinators: Confessions of a Citizen Scientist

When you want to help pollinators survive in the city, you plant a wildlife-habitat garden at home! In this presentation, Ms. Lauren Simpson will share the story of St. Julian’s Crossing, her Houston home’s own wildlife-habitat gardens, which have welcomed 44 species of butterfly, close to 30 species of bees, and over 25 species of wasp─among numerous other wildlife species. Hear how a simple desire to support wildlife sparked a true love affair with pollinators, the wildscapes sustaining them, and the citizen science supporting them. Ms. Simpson will also share some helpful tips, including creating a pollinator-friendly garden at home, collecting data as a citizen scientist, and sharing the wonder of pollinators with others.
