Pollinator Photo Album
Pollinator photos from our community
Community members sent us photos of pollinators visiting flowers during Pollinator Week (June 21-27, 2021), and collectively grew this photo album. Taking photos is a wonderful reminder to slow down and observe this natural phenomenon that brings us flowers for our senses, food for our tables, and a natural world rich in diversity and abundance. Thank you to everyone who contributed photos!
