SUMMARY:Bring Back the Pollinators: Managing Pests While Protecting Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:How can we manage pests while protecting pollinators in home yards? Good garden pollinator habitat requires flowering plants and undisturbed places for pollinators to nest\, but home landscapes also need to be protected from pesticides. Join Aaron Anderson\, Xerces Pesticide Program Specialist\, to touch on a few key pesticide concerns\, and talk about alternative methods to reduce pest pressure. In particular\, we will learn about some of the common beneficial insects that pollinator plantings can support and how they contribute to pest control.\nThis is the second webinar in the four-part series Bring Back the Pollinators.\nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \nClick here for more information and to register for free. \n  \n \nAaron Anderson \nPesticide Program Specialist – The Xerces Society \nAaron Anderson works with the public and Xerces staff to reduce pesticide use in residential landscapes\, including promoting alternative pest control measures and pollinator-friendly gardening practices. Prior to joining Xerces in 2022\, he researched pollinator conservation in urban landscapes\, restored habitat for several endangered butterfly species\, and worked in insect biocontrol. In 2021 he was an AAAS Mass Media Fellow at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch\, where he reported science and business stories. Aaron has a PhD from Oregon State University\, and outside of work you can probably find him riding his bike\, science writing\, or fiddling with old cameras.

SUMMARY:Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA Open House: Pesticide Reduction Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Reducing pesticide impacts and use is a key component of being a Bee City or Campus\, but how this is achieved varies from one region to another as well as the specific location (is it a garden or a park\, a formal planting or a natural area?). Join Sharon Selvaggio and Aaron Anderson of the Xerces Society’s Pesticide Team for an “ask me anything”-style open house!  We’ll do a short presentation on practical ways to reduce pesticide usage\, followed by an extended Q&A session on anything Bee City/Campus or pesticide-related. This session is great for new or longtime participants. \nBring your questions and please feel free to share your favorite pesticide reduction strategies with the group! This webinar will be recorded and available upon request: laura.rost@xerces.org. \n  \nSpeakers: \nSharon Selvaggio\nPesticide Program Specialist\, Parks\, Nurseries & Natural Areas Lead – The Xerces Society \nAaron Anderson\nPesticide Program Specialist – The Xerces Society \nLaura Rost\n​Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA Coordinator – The Xerces Society
