Imagine a hands-on class where students connect with nature by building pollinator hotels using mason jars and natural materials.
What’s Covered
They’ll learn about the critical role pollinators play in ecosystems, design and assemble their own habitats, and discover how to support biodiversity at home or school; all from our very own butterfly garden. By the end of the session, each student will have a unique creation to place in a garden or yard, fostering real-world conservation efforts. It’s an engaging mix of ecology, creativity, and sustainability that leaves a lasting impact.
