SUMMARY:More than just the buzz:  Using ecological data to restore native p
 ollination systems (and why it matters)
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_14309" align="alignright" width="225"] 
 Bombus fervidus on a Purple Giant Hyssop[/caption]\n\nJoin Dr. Robert J. G
 egear to learn what you can do to maximize biodiversity in your own backya
 rd by creating pollination systems that are at risk of local extinction. 
  He will also discuss his Beecology Citizen Science Project\, highlighting
  recent examples of how communities from across Massachusetts have used hi
 s native plant list to successfully restore pollination systems in areas w
 ith high levels of human disturbance\, including parks\, golf courses\, ol
 d fields with invasives/non-natives\, agricultural areas\, conservation la
 nds\, and school campuses.\n\nCo-sponsored by Newton Conservators\, Friend
 s of Cold Spring Park\, Green Newton\, and Mothers Out Front Newton.\n\nDr
 . Robert J. Gegear is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Universi
 ty of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He has been studying the neuroecology and c
 onservation of plant-pollinator systems for over 25 years.  Dr. Gegear is
  the founder of the Beecology Project\, a citizen science project uses eco
 -technology to protect and restore plant-pollinator systems native to New 
 England.\n\nSign up: https://bit.ly/3y1AwGH\n\n&nbsp\;
