🐝 POLLINATOR CENSUS: The 2026 Great Southeast Pollinator Census is set for Aug. 21-22. Here’s how you can help👇

🌸 The Alabama Extension invites all residents to join this citizen-driven science project, asking you to report pollinators in:
👉 Backyards
👉 Gardens
👉 Schools
👉 Parks
👉 Community spaces

🌟 The goal is to track which areas have the biggest need for more plants to feed pollinators as populations continue to decline

🗣️ “Whether counting pollinators solo, with a school group, or as part of a community event, your efforts will make a difference.”
