Citizen science: Protecting pollinators one count at a time

We sat down with Becky Griffin, community and school garden coordinator within the Georgia Center for Urban Agriculture, to chat about the Great Southeast Pollinator Census. Learn more about this project she piloted in Georgia in 2017, which has since expanded across the southeastern U.S., to inspire citizens to become pollinator advocates. And of course, we can't talk about pollinators without discussing bees and the wonders of honey. Join us as we explore the history of the census, how you can participate and the fascinating world of pollinators with Becky!Resources:The Great Southeast Pollinator Census websiteFind your local Extension office Olli at the University of GeorgiaThe University of Georgia Bee Lab websiteVideo from Becky's trip to see the monarchs Edited by Carly MirabileProduced by Jordan Powers, Emily Davenport, Carly MirabileMusic and sound effects by Mason McClintock, an Athens-based singer, songwriter and storyteller who creates innovative soul-pop music that transcends traditional genre boundaries.
