La Plata Open Space Conservancy will host a pollinator workshop Saturday (July 31) on a conserved property on County Road 516, about 10 minutes south of Bayfield. Directions will be provided to registrants.
The landowner will guide attendees on a walk on the property while discussing ways to improve pollinator habitat. Attendees will learn which native plants work well to attract pollinators, whether they have 40 acres or a front yard to work with.
