June is Pollinator Month

June is designated National Pollinator Month to bring attention to what we can do to support habitat for pollinators.  There are a number of programs throughout the month showing how we can help  pollinators in our backyards.  

Wisconsin Celebrates Pollinator Week, June 20-26, 2022, raising awareness through statewide and local activities and events. By increasing knowledge and adopting pollinator friendly practices, we can improve pollinator health and habitats. National Pollinator Month is an annual event managed by the Pollinator Partnership to help spread the word about what we can do to protect pollinators.
