SUMMARY:Bring Back the Pollinators: Providing Nesting Habitat for Bees
DESCRIPTION:10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM MT / 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET\n\nThe availability of nesting habitat is a critical yet often overlooked factor impacting native bee populations. In this webinar\, Xerces Biologists\, Leif Richardson and Sarah Foltz Jordan\, will summarize nesting biology of major groups of bees\, including leaf-cutter bees\, mining bees\, bumble bees\, and many more. They will also offer numerous practical approaches to creating and managing nesting habitat features. Approaches are relevant to landscapers\, farmers\, gardeners\, natural resource professionals\, and anyone interested in taking the next step in supporting pollinators. Community science opportunities will also be discussed. \nThis is the fourth 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 \nSarah Foltz Jordan \nSenior Pollinator Conservation Specialist Habitat Restoration Specialist\, Great Lakes Region – The Xerces Society \nBased out of central Minnesota\, Sarah leads Xerces’ upper Midwest native bee and monarch habitat restoration projects\, working closely with farmers\, agencies\, and conservation groups to promote pollinators on farms and in natural areas. Sarah provides habitat restoration support to hundreds of farmers and farm agency professionals across the upper Midwest\, with an emphasis on the testing of new\, cutting-edge restoration methods on a wide range of fruit\, vegetable\, and grain farms. Currently she is a member of the Minnesota Governor’s Pollinator Protection Committee\, and a consultant on habitat management for at-risk pollinators on public lands in Minnesota. She has authored comprehensive documents about the biology and conservation needs of nearly 200 rare invertebrates\, along with numerous pollinator-related fact sheets\, guidebooks\, and educational tools. Sarah is also an organic apple farmer and is active in the sustainable agriculture community. She holds a master’s degree. \n  \n \nLeif Richardson \nConservation Biologist California Bumble Bee Atlas – The Xerces Society \nLeif is a conservation biologist who coordinates the California Bumble Bee Atlas project. His research focuses on the ecology\, distribution\, and declines of North American bumble bees. Leif previously worked as an environmental consultant\, studying pesticide risk to bee pollinators\, and as an ecologist for Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. He is co-author of a range of scientific publications on bees\, including Bumble Bees of North America: An Identification Guide (2014\, Princeton University Press)\, the standard reference manual on this group of insects. He is an expert in the inventory and identification of bumble bees\, and has extensive experience training others to collect bumble bee distribution data in the field. Leif holds a Master’s degree from the University of Arizona and a PhD from Dartmouth College.
