Bumble Bee Queens, Nests, and Spring Wildflowers – FREE

April 16 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Bumble Bee Queens, Nests, and Spring Wildflowers

Dr. Jeff Karron’s talk features striking slow-motion videography to highlight the interdependence of bumble bee queens and spring-flowering perennial plants. Early-blooming native perennials provide the essential food resources queens need to survive, establish nests, and successfully raise their first brood. In turn, many spring flowering plants depend heavily on bumble bees for effective pollination and seed production. All video and photography featured in this presentation were filmed in high-quality woodland and prairie sites across southeastern Wisconsin. The talk highlights the importance of conserving and restoring early-season floral resources to sustain bumble bee populations. Dr. Karron is Professor of Biology emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He is internationally known for his research on the ecology of plant-pollinator interactions, bumble bee behavior, and the conservation of endangered plants. For more information about his research, please visit his website: www.karronlab.com. Co-sponsored by the UWM Field Station & Friends of the Cedarburg Bog.

This program is free to attend.

April 8 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Ozaukee Washington Bird Coalition Meeting: Lake Michigan Bird Observatory

Lake Michigan Bird Observatory with leaders Joanna Demas and Medhavi Ambardar

Join LMBO staff to learn about their Neighborhood Habitat Improvement Program (NHIP). NHIP is an innovative, community-focused program aimed at reducing barriers that residents face in adopting bird-friendly actions. Based on foundational research in ornithology, habitat restoration, and behavior change science, NHIP makes it easier for residents to plant native plants in their yards, take part in community science and support birds. Joanna Demas, director of conservation and partnerships, will give an overview of NHIP and its goals, and discuss the vital role that volunteer community scientists play in the success of the program. Chief scientist, Medhavi Ambardar will discuss scientific research taking place within NHIP to understand relationships between native vegetation and bird reproductive success, and preliminary findings using data collected by community scientists.

This program is offered in-person at the USS Liberty Memorial Public Library in Grafton (address below).
