Great Southeast Pollinator Census: August 22-23

The annual Great Southeast Pollinator Census helps scientists gather data about pollinators so we can better protect these critical members of our ecosystems. If you’d like to participate, you can drop by the Smyrna Recycling Center (3475 Lake Dr), pick up a counting sheet, and observe in the Pollinator Pocket garden located at the center. This is an independent, self-directed activity. You can also take part in the census from any location! Learn more at https://gsepc.org/
