Every type of pollinator needs a place to rest to thrive. Learn about cavity-nesting pollinators in Alaska and make a cavity nest home in partnership with UAF Cooperative Extension Service (CES) and the Tool Library @ Seed Lab. CES entomologist Alex Wenninger will teach us more about the diversity of cavity-nesting bees and wasps in Alaska, as well as important considerations for constructing and maintaining these nest boxes. Through hands-on demonstration and guidance, participants will create their own nest boxes to take home using the materials and tools provided. Registration required.
