Great Southeast Pollinator Census

It’s time for the Great Southeast Pollinator Census.  We need volunteers for two community events involving our youth.  The youth will actively participate in the count. Please join us for one or both of these events.  

Friday, August 21st, Stripling Elementary School,  6155 Atlantic Boulevard, Norcross, GA 30071, 11:45 AM-2 PM

We will be working with the 2nd grade students.  They will be divided into 3 groups.  After you enter the school, please go to the Library.  Please bring your driver’s license as they may ask for your identification. Trudy Rudert will give a brief powerpoint presentation that is an overview of how to identify the types of pollinators and how to count the pollinators. Then the teachers will lead the students to the school garden.  We will spread out and help the children with identifying pollinators and recording the counts. Several Master Gardeners will also be there to help. The children get very excited.  It’s fun to see them looking for pollinators and enjoying nature. Please text Kathy if you can help (678.357.8684) 

Saturday, August 22nd, Discovery Garden, 219 Lawrenceville Street, Norcross GA 30071, 9:30-11:00 AM

We need volunteers to assist with the Pollinator Census at Discovery Garden. Several Scout troops have been invited to participate in the pollinator count.  Kathy Sumner will give an overview of the importance of the count.  She will talk about how to identify the different kinds of pollinators and how to record the count.  Troop leaders and parents will also be there to help the children identify and count pollinators. No need to RSVP for this one, just show up at Discovery Garden at 9:00 AM.
