How do we best support native pollinators on lands we manage? Responses to this seemingly simple question depend on so many things! Pollinator-friendly habitats can and do look different depending on the role of the landscape, aesthetics, budget, and timeframe. In this presentation, Rebecca Tonietto, Assistant Professor of Biology in the Department of Natural Sciences at the University of Michigan-Flint will describe her work on how to best support pollinators in the Midwest across varied habitats from greenroofs to prairie restorations to residential landscaping choices. Come to explore some of the options for plants, groundcover, soils and nesting habitat, and how to recognize some of the amazingly diverse native bees that will come to visit!
