The giants of pollinator habitat

Did you know woody plants support 10 times more butterflies and moths than herbaceous plants? During this presentation, participants will learn how woodlands support many different types of pollinators throughout their diverse life stages. The tall and varied stand structures of forests and many types of plants support pollinators throughout the year, not just the short flowering season. This presentation will offer examples of how various types of pollinators use the forests and what actions woodland stewards can take to further improve forest habitats and edges for pollinators.

Presented by Angela Gupta, University of Minnesota Extension professor of forestry.

The climate-resilient pollinator habitats across Minnesota landscapes four-part webinar series covers how the changing climate affects pollinators, the role of pollinators in food production, ideas for establishing pollinator habitat in small spaces and how woodlands can serve as another pollinator habitat. Join us on Jan. 27, 28, 29 and 30 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. CST each afternoon for a free webinar.
