Parks for Pollinators 2022: Centre Region Parks and Recreation's Boletim

Hi everyone. We're very happy to be participating in our third Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz challenge this year. It is especially important this year that our volunteers / participants join us is searching for those Monarch Butterflies as the data for their observations and habitat are crucial at this point since they are now endangered! (Read more here: https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/21/world/monarch-butterfly-endangered-scn/index.html)

The observations our volunteers make help us to evaluate park habitat, especially those parks that have had pollinator habitat created through either no- or low-mow areas, special garden areas such as the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden, planted stormwater basins adjacent to parks, and more!

Won't you consider helping us during the month of September, using your smart phone and the iNaturalist app?

More to come soon...!

We need your help, pollinator supporters, naturalists, and friends of the Monarchs!

Our third Parks For Pollinators BioBlitz is just a few weeks away! If you haven't marked your calendar, please note the whole month of September serves as the BioBlitz period.

This is a great opportunity to get the whole family outdoors to discover your local parks and help us to inventory our pollinators!

Watch for more info. to be posted soon!
