Meet the Pollinators

1. Meet the Pollinators A presentation by Cheryl Fimbel Monday, November 11th 7:00 PM Washington State Capital MuseumCoach House 211 SW 21st Avenue; Olympia, WA Following a brief overview of the topic of pollination, and the role of insects in pollinating plants, Cheryl Fimbel, a wildlife ecologist with the Center for Natural Lands Management, will discuss the biology and natural ecology of pollinators, while highlighting unique aspects of native bees and their relationships to plants (native and gasp!.... non-native) and habitat. She will also talk about our native pollinators in the South Sound and show us a collection of pinned specimens from the South Puget Sound Prairies. Cheryl Fimbel is a wildlife ecologist with the Center for Natural Lands Management. Cheryl's work for the better part of the last decade has focused on restoring prairie habitat in South Puget Sound for rare butterflies and pollinators. Before that, she worked with 'bigger things' like black bears, forest antelope, and primates.
