The Pollinator Conservation Movement is Gaining Momentum - ARE YOU READY?

Presenter: Bill Ruppert, on behalf Grow Native!, a program of the Missouri Prairie Foundation

Thursday, August 11, 2016, 12:40 - 1:00pm

As society becomes increasingly aware of the integral relationship of our food supply to the health and well-being of pollinating insects, the role of native plants in the landscape is also being better understood.  Without a diversity of native plants, there is no diversity of native pollinating insects.  Beyond the current plight and significant setbacks of the European honey bee, native pollinators are also being compromised due to diminished native plant habitat.  Learn how the green industry can advance the native pollinator conservation movement and also enjoy financial benefits to the bottom line of our diverse businesses.  Local, regional and national promotions are offering the professional green industry with many opportunities to be a successful champion!
