SUMMARY:We Need to Talk About Honeybees
DESCRIPTION:To help ensure healthy ecosystems and successful harvests\, pollinator conservation is essential. For many people\, pollinator conservation is synonymous with the honey bee and beekeeping\, but the story is bigger than that; much\, much bigger than that. As we work to conserve pollinators\, we need to ensure that our efforts are best directed where they are needed most\, and not just at what is easiest to accomplish. While honey bees are important for our current agricultural systems\, their role in our natural areas\, and even in our urban and suburban areas\, is more complicated. Join Xerces Society Senior Conservation Biologist Rich Hatfield for an honest conversation about the unseen consequences that a focus on honey bees can have\, and how we can focus our actions in ways that will create positive change\, for all pollinators. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \n  \n \nRich Hatfield\nSenior Endangered Species Conservation Biologist Bumble Bee Conservation Lead – The Xerces Society \nRich manages all aspects of the Xerces Society’s work on bumble bees. In addition to his skills as a research biologist\, Rich also has extensive classroom teaching experience with a focus on conservation biology\, ecology\, and sustainability.

SUMMARY:Practitioners Talk About IPM: Turning Lemons into Lemonade - the Story of Wilsonville\, OR
DESCRIPTION:A private parking lot in Wilsonville\, Oregon became the unexpected site of the country’s largest bumble bee kill\, when an estimated 50\,000-100\,000 bumble bees died during Pollinator Week in 2013\, after neonicotinoid insecticide was applied to linden trees located in the lot. Since then\, the City of Wilsonville has rallied to support bee conservation through joining Bee City USA and establishing its Bee Stewards Wilsonville program. Join Kerry Rappold\, Natural Resources Program Manager for the City of Wilsonville\, who will discuss the city’s work since the bee kill\, including pollinator habitat establishment\, integrated pest management in parks and public spaces\, residential education\, and involvement in state policy work. \nThis event will include auto-generated closed captioning and will be recorded and available to Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA affiliates. \n  \n \nKerry Rappold\nNatural Resources Manager – City of Wilsonville \nDuring his 21 years with the City of Wilsonville\, Kerry Rappold has had responsibility for program development; compliance with local\, state and federal requirements; capital project planning and implementation; stormwater management and permitting; managing enhancement and restoration projects; pollinator conservation; and environmental education. Kerry’s previous work experience has included silviculture and urban forestry\, watershed management and monitoring\, and regulatory review and permitting.
