As the summer draws to an end, pollination season does too! This summer, I’ve been working on finishing this guide to pollination and pollinators, which was started by interns on the WNRP Action Team last summer. Take a look and learn something new!

I also urge you to sign the Illinois Monarch Pledge if you haven’t already, and advocate for your local government to sign. 

Keep an eye out for activities and events about pollinators in the future!

Examples of events from this summer include the Pollinator Safari at Boloria Meadows during Pollinator Week, Conservation World’s pollinator garden at the county fair, and Monarch Fest at Crystal Lake Main Beach.
