Experience the world of conservation as we join our horticulture team on a native plant and pollinator exploration. Students will get the opportunity to learn how to identify native plants, explore what pollinators they need, and then will venture throughout the museum grounds to practice field identification skills, all under the guidance of our horticulture and education teams. Learn the ways in which these plants and pollinators help sustain healthy ecosystems, and how we can practice local native plant conservation!
