The benefits realized through co-locating pollinator habitat installations, including reduced pests and pest pressure, increased productivity, and increased soil and water conservation, among others
Identify ways of increasing and enhancing pollinator diversity on agricultural lands
Technical guidance on creating diverse habitat, and best management practices and technical guidelines for short and long-term habitat management Information on local, state, and federal agencies/organizations that offer technical assistance and financial programs
A guided field tour of farm sites will follow the classroom portion of the workshop and allow participants to talk with farm managers who have integrated habitat into their management plans
