Description: Pollinator Feeder Workshop
Location: Fiery Gizzard State Park
Celebrate National Honeybee Day! Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and even beetles play a vital role in keeping our ecosystems blooming—but they need our help! In the Pollinator Feeder Workshop, we’ll learn how to support these important creatures by creating simple, homemade feeders using common recycled materials.
During this hands-on program, participants will:
- Learn about native pollinators and their importance to plants, wildlife, and humans
- Discover how everyday trash can be turned into something helpful for nature
- Create a bee- or butterfly-friendly feeder to take home and hang outdoors
- Get tips on how to plant or maintain a pollinator-friendly space
All materials provided, but feel free to bring clean recyclables (like plastic bottles, mason jars, or wire hangers) to personalize your project.
All ages welcome! This program is great for families, scout groups, and budding eco-creators. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Let’s get crafty for conservation—because even small feeders can make a big impact for our tiny winged friends!
We will meet at the Visitor Center Pavilion. Registration is Required.
