Science Café: Pollinator Power

They power our ecosystems and put food on our tables, but pollinators are under threat from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, and more.
Join us at the first Science Café of the semester to learn how researchers on campus and in local communities are collaborating to protect pollinators, especially one of the most recognizable pollinators in North America: the monarch butterfly.
Join Alyson Oostdyk, Natural Areas Manager for the University of Michigan, and Maggie Halpern from the City of Ann Arbor’s Office of Sustainability & Innovations to learn about pollinator aware lawncare and new native planting strategies to support biodiversity on UM's campus.

Hors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:30 p.m., and the program begins at 6:00 p.m.
Seating is limited—come early.

Free and open to the public.
UMMNH would like to thank Conor O’Neill’s for 15+ years of support for our Science Cafés.
