pollinator census August 23-24, 2019
The Great Pollinator Count The Great Georgia Pollinator Census is an historical initiative where Georgians will record the numbers and types of pollinators that populate our state during late summer. You do not have to be an entomologist to be part of this important project! The census was designed for individuals, families, garden clubs, school groups, friends - ALL Georgians to participate.
On Friday, August 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Appalachian Studies Center and College of Education will host a citizen science project in partnership with the University of Georgia, the Georgia Mountain Master Gardeners, and the Lumpkin County Extension Service. Every hour on the hour, you are invited to to count pollinators at the gardens of the Historic Vickery House. A UNG entomologist will be on hand to help you identify the eight categories of pollinating insects. No registration required. (The state-wide pollinator census also continues through Saturday, August 24, but the census at the Historic Vickery House will only be held on Friday.) For more more information about the state-wide census, see The Great Georgia Pollinator Census.
