DERBY - Join the staff May 25 at the Kellogg Environmental Center to explore pollinators.  

Pollinators’ Day, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 25, is focused on the needs of pollinators and ways you can become involved in their conservation.  
Come celebrate bees, butterflies and other creatures that pollinate flowers for our food and the environmental balance.  
Activities include hikes, quizzes, and participation in Citizen Science research for monarch and bee activity.  

All ages will enjoy the focus on these important creatures during this free day of activities.  Participants will take part in planting wildflowers and adding to scientific research.  They will explore the field and gardens to look for pollination activity and pollinators themselves.
