Pollinators & Climate Change Considerations — Replay & Resources

Thank you so much to Athena Contus of Athena's Bees for her wonderful talk about bees and pollinators in a changing climate and things we can do to promote healthy pollinator populations. Athena also shared an abundance of excellent resources with us. Spend some time with these websites and videos and you will learn a lot about how to support the insects and ecosystems that make our lives possible.

Smooth Green Snake: Why Protecting and Maintaining Critical Habitat in the Chocorua Lake Basin Matters
