SUMMARY:ELA Mid-Atlantic Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:Delaware Center for Horticulture\, 1810 N Dupont Street\nWilmington\, DE 19806\n8:30 am EST – 4:00 pm EST \nAs native bees struggle alongside European honey bees for survival\, their reduced numbers put natural ecosystems and agricultural systems at risk. And bees are not the only pollinators that are suffering. Beetles\, butterflies\, ants\, birds\, and bats all help with pollination and all are experiencing environmental stresses. \nIn response\, landscape professionals and concerned homeowners across the country are learning more about the habitat needs of all pollinators – and using that knowledge to make planting decisions. \nJoin ELA to learn from four pollinator experts what we can do to support pollinators. \nMore info/Purchase Tickets here.

SUMMARY:MJV Webinar: The Florida Monarch Population
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:   \nJaret C. Daniels\, Ph.D.\, Curator and Program Director\, McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity\, Florida Museum of Natural History \nMany efforts to enhance monarch recovery have focused on priority regions including California\, along the I-35 corridor from Texas to Minnesota\, and in the agricultural Midwest. Expanding the geographic focus to the Deep South\, including Florida with its unique monarch populations and often equally unique issues\, is needed for effective conservation planning. This webinar will provide an overview of the monarch populations in Florida\, some of the unique issues facing Florida monarchs\, and key takeaways from recent studies addressing long-term trends\, roadside habitat\, and the proliferation of commercially available non-native milkweed. Additional information will be provided on a few collaborative initiatives planned or underway. \nTo register click here.
