The American Museum of Natural History will present Making Space for NYC Pollinators, in person in New York and online, on Friday, March 13 at 3 pm. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/making-space-for-nyc-pollinators-virtual-event-tickets-1982882003450. Join New York City Pollinators online for a panel discussion on the joys and perils of creating pollinator habitat in the concrete jungle. What applies in New York applies in other metropolitan areas too.

There is a “yuge” variety of pollinator gardens in the boroughs of New York City, from lush, sprawling plantings in public parks to lovely blooms in community gardens to humble oases in tree beds. Our panelists will share what it takes to create and maintain pollinator habitat where every square foot is a hot commodity and everybody’s got an opinion (or two). Join us online to celebrate these corners of our city, the folks who steward them, and the tiniest New Yorkers who call them home!

Panelists:

Jason Bonet, Bronx Green-Up Cheree Dillon , Wicked Friendship Garden / Street Tree Habitats Project Richard Hayden, The High Line Len Maniace, Jackson Heights Beautification Group Evelyn Manlove, Brooklyn Bridge Park Abby Scher, 40 Ocean Parkway Co-op Garden, Brooklyn
