Let's explore applying indigenous wisdom to pollinator conservation.About this EventPollination Guelph 2026 Symposium: Indigenous Wisdom & Pollinator ConservationJoin us for our biennial celebration of pollinators and their conservation.For over 10 years, Pollination Guelph has gathered experts, gardeners, and nature lovers to explore the world of pollinators through various themes. Every two years, we choose a theme that challenges us to look at conservation through a new lens. For 2026, we are honoured to present: Indigenous Wisdom and Pollinator Conservation.About the ThemeWhile Western conservation science provides important data on pollinators, Indigenous Knowledge Systems offer a holistic understanding of the land and ecology that has existed for millennia. This year, we move beyond land "management" to explore "relationship." We will dive into how traditional ecological knowledge, storytelling, and Indigenous-led stewardship can guide us toward more resilient and reciprocal ways of protecting our native bees, butterflies, and the ecosystems they sustain.What to ExpectWhether you are a seasoned researcher, a backyard gardener, or a curious community member, this symposium offers something for everyone:Hear from Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and non-Indigenous conservationists who work closely with Indigenous communities to share insights on pollinator conservation and land-based teachings.Learn practical ways to incorporate Indigenous perspectives into local habitat creation and native plant selection.Network with local environmental organizations and visit the booths of other local organizations and vendors.Event DetailsTicketsRegistration is open until April 4! General ticket price is $80.
