The Adirondack Pollinator Project is a project of AdkAction in partnership with The Wild Center, The Lake Placid Land Conservancy, and Paul Smith’s College, with the mission of inspiring individual and collective action to help pollinators thrive. Creative digital program offerings throughout National Pollinator Week will allow people of all ages to learn about pollinators, gardening with native plants, and more.

Each weekday during National Pollinator Week, The Wild Center will host a noon program focused on pollinators. On Monday, June 22, the Lake Placid Land Conservancy will offer a citizen science training to teach participants how to use the iNaturalist app to identify plants and pollinators. Paul Smith’s College will offer a Bee Box Building workshop to create habitat for native bees on Tuesday, and Saranac Lake Community Solar Project will share their plans for creating pollinator habitat under their solar arrays and help interested locals learn how to save on their energy bill while supporting renewable energy and promoting pollinators.

On Thursday evening, AdkAction will welcome author and pollinator-expert Kim Eierman to present her lecture, “The Pollinator Victory Garden: Winning the War on Pollinator Decline.” She will teach participants how, with simple strategies, it is easy to attract and support bees and other pollinators. Learn how to create a Pollinator Victory Garden to help win the war on pollinator decline.
