Pollinators for KIDS!! Cancelled! Stay tuned for new date!
May 13 @ 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Join friends from the Hampden Hampshire Conservation District to explore the wonderful world of Pollinators! Listen to a book that describes how pollinators affect the environment, the threats these species face, and how people can help protect them with pollinator gardens. Inspect a flower up close and personal to see how it’s put together, and finally get your hands dirty by making seed balls that will attract pollinators!
