Bees and Pollinators Talk

Tuesday, June 12th, 2018 (6:00-7:30pm)

Speaker: Susan Carpenter, Outreach Specialist at the Native Plant Garden of the UW-Madison Arboretum 

Pope Farm Conservancy provides a quality habitat that supports a wide range of pollinators, including butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, wasps, and most importantly, bees. Join Susan Carpenter for a fascinating talk about the diversity, life histories, habitats, and roles of Wisconsin pollinators, and how you can protect and promote them in your own garden and landscapes.

This tour is free, family-friendly, and open to the public. We will meet in the UPPER parking lot – enter at the Old Sauk Rd entrance and drive up to the top of the hill.

Address: 7440 Old Sauk Rd, Verona, WI 53593
