Come join us at Stratford Ecological Center for a fun two hours of learning about pollinators and their habitats. We will do a leisurely stroll around the farm and learn about native bees, butterflies, and other insects that help with pollination. Each of these pollinators play a vital role in the food chain that we humans are a part of. Each month, the farm changes and new wonders will be found, so plan on joining us every month for new bees and topics.
