The Great Southeast Pollinator Census is a citizen science initiative aiming to capture a snapshot of pollinator activity, presence, preference, and plant flowering times. It was created to be manageable for the general public, regardless of their familiarity with various insects.We will have a class on local pollinators, how to collect data, and resources available to you. Then, we will measure pollinators over 15-minute intervals outside at Shamrock Park. Everyone can participate and make a difference for pollinator conservation!Make sure to bring water, a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable clothing for the event, as most of it will take place outdoors.Please register for this event ONLY at <a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fufsarasotaext.eventbrite.com%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cmgorman%40scgov.net%7Ce83be682f8fa444d581a08d7f692da4b%7C9ac90fa4ea4648d79114bbf2fc554d0e%7C0%7C0%7C637248982908296211&amp;sdata=3CrEHFY%2BoKCv6bHoWdwvkhUsoynZO020anJoQnjmVZQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fufsarasotaext.eventbrite.com%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cmgorman%40scgov.net%7Ce83be682f8fa444d581a08d7f692da4b%7C9ac90fa4ea4648d79114bbf2fc554d0e%7C0%7C0%7C637248982908296211&amp;sdata=3CrEHFY%2BoKCv6bHoWdwvkhUsoynZO020anJoQnjmVZQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ufsarasotaext.eventbrite.com</a> rather than any third party websites, as they are not affiliated with our classes and events.For questions or further information, please call 941-861-5000 or emailLearn more: <a href="https://www.gsepc.org/" title="https://www.gsepc.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Great Southeast Pollinator Census – Citizen Science at Work (gsepc.org)</a>For questions or further information, please call 941-861-5000 or email <a href="mailto:sarasota@ifas.ufl.edu" title="mailto:sarasota@ifas.ufl.edu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">sarasota@ifas.ufl.edu</a>.
