As we enter spring, new shoots poke up through the dirt and flowers begin to bloom. None of this would be possible without the small insects and animals which pollinate the plants around us! Join us for an interactive workshop to learn about how pollination works and how to protect these important critters. We will learn about the process of pollination, the relationship between native plants and pollinators, and what we can do to create safe pollinator habitats. We will explore the native pollinator gardens here at the Salmon Center and create our own little bug hotels to bring native insects to our backyards. - Participation is limited to 20 kids, ages 8-12. - This session is available for FREE with an optional donation. - Please have your child dress according to the weather. Close toed shoes are required. Come prepared so that we can have fun outside (rain gear, hat, etc). - Please plan on dropping off your child a few minutes prior to the beginning of the workshop and arriving promptly for pick-up. -To ensure equal engagement for all participants, guardians are not permitted to sit in on workshops. However, you are welcome to explore the Salmon Center grounds and our neighbor Theler Wetlands while your children are in class.
