Around 75% of the world's flowering plants rely on animal pollinators, with over 200,000 pollinator species involved. One in every three mouthfuls of food we eat are delivered by pollinators! Join DLAMN Master Naturalist Karen Hicks as she explores the hidden world and importance of pollination. You will view pollinators up close, learn fascinating facts about the plant/pollinator connection, and focus on how we can protect this valuable resource for the future.
This class will take place in the board room at the Arkansas School for Math, Sciences, and the Arts. Following the class, we will take a tour of the school's student developed pollinator garden, led by Dr. Allyn Dodd, biology instructor.
