Bumble Bee Monitoring Outings

Registration required; limited space available: https://bttr.im/nd2gt 

Would you like to learn about bumble bees and participate in a citizen science effort? Come along with Dane County Parks volunteer, Maggie Honig, to identify and tally bumble bee species in support of pollinator conservation efforts in Wisconsin. Maggie will brief our group on some of the ten species that have been confirmed within the Capital Springs Recreation Area. After our briefing, we will go out into habitat, searching for bumble bees in the area, photographing them if possible, and recording our data. Note that we will be walking on uneven ground.

Following the survey, the leader will submit the day's findings to the WI Dept. of Natural Resource’s Bumble Bee Brigade program.
