Places for Pollinators workshop is June 28 at Topsham library

TOPSHAM — Androscoggin Valley Soil and Water Conservation District will hold an educational event from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, June 28 at the Topsham Public Library, 25 Foreside Road.
The workshop will help guide people through the observation, identification and ecology of pollinators. Other topics such as pollinator habitat needs, environmental stressors, and what property owners can do to create more high value habitat for pollinators will be discussed as well.
Wildlife ecologist Deb Perkins will be sharing her expert opinions and experiences gathered during her more than 25 years in the field. Perkins is the sole proprietor of First Light Wildlife Habitat.
After the classroom portion of this event, participants will visit Whatley Farm to tour their fields in search of pollinators. If you’re unable to attend the visit to the farm, please feel free to attend the classroom portion of the event. If you do plan on attending the visit to Whatley Farm, bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, a hat and binoculars, if you have them.
