The Great Florida Pollinator Census!

The Great Florida Pollinator Census!

UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota CountySarasota, FL
Overview

Take part in the annual pollinator count! Learn about local pollinators, using iNaturalist, and contributing to community science!

The Great Florida Pollinator Census is a community science initiative aiming to capture a snapshot of pollinator activity, presence, preference, and plant flowering times. It was created to be manageable for the general public, regardless of their familiarity with various insects.

We will have a class on local pollinators, how to collect data, and resources available to you. Then, we will measure pollinators over 15-minute intervals in our outdoor gardens. Everyone can participate and make a difference for pollinator conservation! Participants will receive a free pollinator-themed sticker.

Make sure to bring water, a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable clothing for the event, as most of it will take place outdoors.
