Pollination Celebration


Join Glacier's Edge Master Naturalists for the Inaugural Carolyn Mason Memorial
Discover the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem. This day-long workshop will focus on hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Also learn about landscaping and native plants that attract these pollinators. You will have a hands-on opportunity to create a Mason Bee house to help attract bees to your garden or a pollination pot to attract hummingbirds, bees and butterflies.
