Birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and other small mammals that pollinate plants are responsible for bringing us one out of every three bites of food. They also sustain Earth's ecosystems by aiding in the crucial reproduction process.
Please join Karen Hicks for a look into the world of pollination and how it effects all biomes and ecosystems. This time we'll delve even more into the strange world of the creatures and features of pollination. You will leave with a deeper understanding of the various systems, and hopefully, have some fun along the way. And, if you have room for a few new plants, the students and faculty of the Arkansas School for Math, Sciences, and the Arts are having a plant sale that day. We hope to see you there.
The class will run from 9 until 11:30. After a lunch break, we will have a tour of the ASMSA pollinator garden, with a Q & A session with Drs. Lindsey Waddell and Allyn Dodd. Snacks provided but you will want to BYOBBL (Bring Your Own Brown Bag Lunch). You may also want to bring a little cash for the plant sale.
This class will count for 6 hours of NIT training or NAT continuing ed.
