SUMMARY:International Monarch Monitoring Blitz
DESCRIPTION:The International Monarch Monitoring Blitz invites community scientists from across North America to come together with the shared goal of helping to protect and conserve the beloved and emblematic monarch butterfly. Data collected by volunteers each year support trinational efforts to better understand the monarch butterfly’s breeding productivity\, range\, and timing in North America. \nJoin this year’s International Monarch Monitoring Blitz from 25 July to 3 August 2025! \nTo take part in the Blitz\, please share your observations through one of the participating community science programs below: \nCanada:  \n\nMission Monarch\n\nMexico: \n\nNaturaLista\nCorreo Real\n\nUnited States: \n\nJourney North\nMonarch Larva Monitoring Project\nWestern Monarch Milkweed Mapper\n\nMedia Release: \n\nEnglish: Support Monarch Butterfly Conservation\nEspañol: Conservación de la mariposa monarca\nFrançais : Appuyez la conservation du monarque\n\nSocial Media Posts: \n\nEnglish: Facebook\, Instagram\nEspañol: Facebook\, Instagram\nFrançais: Facebook\, Instagram

SUMMARY:The State of the 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 \nHow are U.S. bee species faring in light of the major threats they are facing? What more do we need to know to protect them? There are over 3\,600 species of bees in the United States\, but we only know the conservation status of about 20% of those species. This makes it difficult to make decisions about how to prioritize bee conservation. Join Saff Killingsworth\, Xerces Endangered Species Conservation Biologist and State of the Bees Initiative\, to discuss how conservation biologists decide which bees are imperiled and which bees are safe\, highlight some interesting bees of conservation concern\, and talk about the Xerces Society’s effort to understand the conservation status of all U.S. bee species. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on the Xerces Society YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \n\nSaff Killingsworth – Endangered Species Conservation Biologist\, State of the Bees Initiative – Xerces Society \nTo request a reasonable accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility\, please contact outreach@xerces.org.

SUMMARY:Great Southeast Pollinator Census
DESCRIPTION:This project is easy enough for anyone to learn some basic entomology and participate in while at the same time ensure that useful data is generated for conservationists. \nThe three goals of the project are: \n1.     To create sustainable pollinator habitat by educating gardeners about using plants that provide nutrition for our pollinators while handling summer droughts and do not have disease or pest insect pressure. \n2.     To increase the entomological literacy of citizens. The project wants students to go from “oooo\, it’s a bug” to “look at the tarsal claw on that bee!” \n3.     To generate useful data about our pollinator populations to spot trends and see how pollinator populations are affected by weather and how honey bees influence native bee populations. \n\n\nJoin the count!\n\n\n\n\nInterested in joining the count this year?
