Creating a B&B Highway for Pollinators

Pollinators are critical for life on earth.

Our Digital Media Storyteller Kalani Gacon spent the day at Zig Zag Public School in Lithgow to record the event, which included information sessions, bug hunts, planting natives for pollinators, citizen science and building habitat for native bees.

An excellent program. I was particularly fascinated to learn about the need to plant a middle layer to support our pollinators!

What an excellent science curriculum this school has put together! It teaches kids to analyze nature, analyze the biodiversity of plants and animals. Clone this program and the teacher as well! (-:
