IPM Toolkit Webinar
October 10 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
To protect pollinators, Bee Cities and Campuses are reducing pesticide use and embracing integrated pest management practices. To help, we’re launching a new IPM Plan Toolkit to guide affiliates as they create or improve their IPM plans. Join us for a presentation by Aaron Anderson, Pesticide Program Specialist at the Xerces Society, to learn about these brand new resources and review why IPM and pest reduction is such an important BCUSA commitment. We’ll also share some examples of affiliates doing creative IPM work in their communities. This session is appropriate for all Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA affiliates, including grounds staff; city or campus managers; and community members.
This free Bee City USA webinar is hosted by Xerces Society and will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel on the Bee City USA playlist. Auto-generated Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.
