Creating Pollinator Habitat at Home
With the NE Kansas Beekeepers Association’s Fun Day!
This is an all-day event featuring everything you ever wanted to know about beekeeping.
Sami Aaron with The Resilient Activist will offer a one-hour presentation from 11-noon central on Creating Pollinator Habitat At Home.
This presentation offers simple ideas on how your home garden can be modified to support not just honeybees, but solitary bees, bumblebees, butterflies, moths, and other pollinators! Attracting a wide variety of pollinators will bring more birds at the same time. You’ll learn step-by-step gardening information from planning to implementation and maintenance.
Take a look around your yard before the Fun Day and have an idea of an open, sunny area that might be suitable for some pollinator habitat!
Gardening For Pollinators
Come join The Resilient Activist and Stitching Change at the First Baptist Church of KCK to learn all about how to garden for wildlife, taught by the gardening aficionado and Extension Master Naturalist, Anna Graether!
Anna is on The Resilient Activist’s Board of Directors and has successfully created, planted, and maintained many native gardens in her time–including her backyard and detailing a gardening plan as laid out in her blog post.
Bring your questions and she will be happy to guide you!
iNaturalist City Nature Challenge
Using iNaturalist, you can discover unique species of birds, insects, and plants with the click of your camera because it is an app off your smartphone! It helps you get to know the names of wild creatures and plants with some basic information about them. With Nature-lovers’ help, scientists see how different species are surviving and where they live at certain times of the year! Why not aid in conservation efforts?
Nature Celebration at the Heartland Overlook Preserve
“Participants can come and go from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and explore the interactive environmental education booths led by Heartland Conservation Alliance’s partners.” The Resilient Activist will be one of the booths you will see there!
“We invite all visitors to join one of the guided hikes, which will run every 30 minutes, and give you the opportunity to collect the valuable, scientific data for the City Nature Challenge.
New to iNaturalist? We’ll have someone on site ready to help you out.
Dress for the weather and wear shoes you are comfortable hiking in. Everyone is welcome, including furry friends, to come and enjoy a day in nature!”
