Pollinator Week Events At Whole Foods
Six years ago, the U.S. Senate’s unanimous approval and designation of the final week in June as “National Pollinator Week” marked a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Pollinator Week has now grown to be an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats and beetles. The growing concern for pollinators is a sign of progress, but it is vital that we continue to maximize our collective effort. We have some special events planned on Saturday, June 15 to help us learn more about this very important topic. Along with many others around the world, we hope to “bee” part of the change in our awareness and how we take care of our environment to protect our pollinators. For more information please call 636-527-1160.
