Join Jason Mazurowski, a local naturalist and native bee specialist, to discover autumn pollinators at Woodbury Mountain Wilderness Preserve. We'll explore wetlands and forest edges to document some of Vermont's 350+ species of native bees, just as bumblebee colonies are reaching their annual late-summer peak. We'll discuss and observe other groups of pollinators such as butterflies, moths, wasps and more as they forage on late-season wildflowers. We will also learn to record our sightings using the iNaturalist app, which is a fun way to learn about nature in your own backyard while contributing to science. Please wear sturdy footwear; the field-based portion of this walk will be spent off-trail on uneven terrain exploring forests and wetlands. Tick protection, and waterproof footwear are recommended. Be prepared for bugs, rain, and/or sun.

Space is limited to 15 participants. RSVP to join in the fun; meet-up location and further details will be emailed to you: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/woodbury-mountain-bioblitz-pollinators-tickets-704942039617
