Pollinators are a diverse group of insects responsible for ecosystem health and food production. Unfortunately, many of these beneficial insects are on the decline due to a combination of stressors.
In this free webinar hosted by the Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan on April 20, Sarah Semmler from the Living Prairie Museum presented some of our most important native prairie pollinators, why they're in decline, and what we can do to help them out.
