Webinar: Buzzing for Native Plants

While flowers like bird vetch and white sweet clover may be pretty, their spread can be harmful to our local pollinators.  Entomologist Alex Wenninger studies how insects interact with native and invasive plants in Alaska. Her most recent research project investigated which pollinators visit each of six native flowers and compared that to pollinators visiting invasive bird vetch and white sweetclover flowers. Join us to hear more about her research, including how she studies insects and the results of her research, why invasive bird vetch and white sweetclover are not good choices for supporting pollinator diversity, and which native plants can be good replacements for these invasive species. When: Wednesday, Jul. 30, 12-1 p.m. Where: Zoom.
