The Great Southeast Pollinator Census is a citizen science project created by the University of Georgia. This project is designed for everyone to participate and make a difference for pollinator conservation! Watch the video to learn more about how to join the count.
Inspired by OUR Great Southeast Pollinator Census, The Great Pollinator Count by Susan Edwards Richmond is a delightful and educational book that follows a young girl named Mellie as she participates in a community science project to count pollinators in her school garden. The book introduces children to the importance of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators in the ecosystem. It’s both an engaging story and a gentle call to action, inspiring kids and families to observe and protect the natural world around them.
From Peachtree Publishing: “Stephanie Fizer Coleman’s charming illustrations give readers a “bug’s eye” view of the pollination counting process. In the back matter, the author provides a detailed glossary, resources, and information about America’s largest regional pollinator count.”
Susan Richmond and Great Southeast Pollinator Census National Coordinator, Becky Griffin, will be on a mini-book tour in late April around North Georgia and Atlanta.
The Census has amazing project partners and supporters:
