The steep decline in pollinator populations is endangering our ecosystems’ health. To heighten public awareness, the Norfolk Conservation Commission is hosting two events to commemorate National Pollinator Week at the end of June.
Roaring Brook Nature Center naturalist Margery Winters, will speak Saturday, June 20, at 4:00 p.m. at the Norfolk Hub about what homeowners can do in their own backyards to support butterflies.
The following Saturday, June 27, Moth Night will be held at Great Mountain Forest’s House Barn, 200 Canaan Mountain Road in Falls Village. Ray Simpson, a naturalist from the Yale Peabody Museum, will set up a screen and UV lights to attract moths and other night flying insects.
