Join
the conversation! Learn about the complex challenges facing pollinators in
Vermont and help identify strategies to protect these essential species.
Keynote speakers and
panels of experts will examine the threats to pollinators and their critical
role in preserving Vermont's working lands and wild places.
Our featured noon
speaker, Stan Meiberg, Acting Deputy Administrator of the EPA and co-chair of
the White House Pollinator Health Task Force, will bring a national
perspective to the day.
Hands-on round table
