Pollinators are animals that transfer pollen between the male and female parts of flowers while collecting food.
Pollinators are essential to humans and everyone with a garden or yard can help them out.
But pollinators’ very existence is under threat.
Join Michele McCandless, a city of Coquitlam foreman, on Wednesday, June 1 at 1 p.m. at Dogwood Pavilion (1655 Winslow Ave.) to discover what the local pollinators are, the role they play in plant pollination and how to help them out in your yard and garden.
McCandless’ presentation will include what specifically to plant to help encourage pollinators in your garden. Learn why we need them, how they help us and how we can help them. This presentation is perfect for those interested in gardening and/or ecosystems.
This free presentation is for people 50 and older and pre-registration is required. For information and to register, visit www.coquitlam.ca/dogwood, call 604-927-4386 or visit a Coquitlam recreation facility in person.
