Interested in learning more about native bees and our Native Bee Conservation Program?
Join us on February 6 at 6 p.m. MST to learn about our Environment and Climate Change Speaker Spotlight: Native Bee Conservation Program. From the flowers that inspire Métis beadwork to medicines that we grow or harvest – Métis people are closely tied to the plants that native bees pollinate. This session will be led by our resident bee enthusiast, Tiffani Harrison, who will introduce native bee diversity, with a focus on cavity-nesting bees. Tune in to learn about how our program engages Citizens and aims to support native bees using our bee nesting boxes. Citizens that attend this session will also be entered to win an early bird prize of a Native Bee Conservation Kit!
About the Environment & Climate Change Speaker Spotlight:
The Environment & Climate Change Speaker Spotlight is an initiative inviting Métis community members and industry professionals to share their skills and knowledge. The goal of this project is to provide a sense of community for Métis people and information on climate change, climate action, and the protection of environment. Each spotlight will offer a new topic based on previous Métis Nation of Alberta Citizen feedback.
