Please join us for the Great Southeast Pollinator Census!
This event will be held August 22nd, from 10 am to 11:30 am at the Leon County Extension Office (615 Paul Russell Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32301). We will gather and discuss the census process, go into the gardens to observe pollinators, and reconvene to discuss our observations.
We will offer different locations around our Demonstration Gardens to observe. We have a variety of plants and locations to choose from. You can choose to observe a native plant, a non-native plant, or a nativar; either planted in the landscape or growing in the wild. Extension Agent Mark Tancig will discuss:
- How to conduct the pollinator census
- Which plants had more or less pollinator activity
- Which pollinators were observed
- Impacts of pollinator population on our environment
- How to attract more pollinators to your landscape
Please wear closed-toe shoes, a hat or sunglasses, sunscreen, and bring water as we will tour the Leon County Extension Office Demonstration Garden, located on site, weather permitting.
