Pollinator Habitat Workshop

  • Accomac, Virginia United States (map)

This event is sold out.

VES Land Trust and the Natural Resouce Conservation Service (NRCS) are sponsoring a presentation on the benefits of and specifics for starting a pollinator meadow. Participants will visit and tour a farm in Accomac, Virginia. The tour will highlight two pollinator meadow sites. One is subject to salt water intrusion and includes more salt tolerant species. The other has a more standard upland mix. Jenny Templeton from NRCS will discuss the programs available to help fund these habitats. Bob Glennon, the state biologist that has supported much of this effort around the Shore and across the state, will also present. He will talk specifically about the process of starting the meadow and how they select the species mix.
