What's the Buzz?

What does pollinator research look like on the ground and what are agencies at the state and federal level doing to protect pollinators? Join us as we sit down with Diane Schuldt and Katie Baumann from the U.S. Forest Service to talk about pollinators and pollinator decline from a scientific and natural resource management perspective. 

Join us as we sit down with local farmer Jessica McAleese(Swift River Farm) and bakery owner Craig McCalum(Odd Fellows Bakery), to talk about the crucial role pollinators play in our food system and what it takes to grow and cook local food in a small rural community.

Join us as we have a conversation with Toni Ruth, executive director of Salmon Valley Stewardship, to find out how the organization and its partners are working to protect pollinators and create a more environmentally-minded community in Lemhi County.

So many people are detached from nature and will look away from environmental injustices such as pollinator decline. Join us as we talk with wildlife biologist / nature artist Tempe Regan and environmental educator Frances Mueller of Summer Creek Farm about the role art and education play in inspiring people to become nature lovers, capable stewards, and defenders of pollinators.
