Through this work\, she provides technical assistance\, planning\, and education on incorporating pollinator and other beneficial invertebrate habitat in small urban agricultural areas and community gardens in historically excluded communities. Her work supports projects including the Xerces Habitat Kit Program\, People’s Garden Initiative\, and NRCS Conservation Programs through the USDA Farm Bill. \nStefanie received a master’s degree in biology from Portland State University where she studied the nesting habits of cavity nesting bees and wasps in the Portland\, OR area and completed a multi-year study surveying the solitary bees in Portland’s urban core and their floral use. Since graduating\, she has worked on numerous research projects studying diverse bee communities\, and she has a deep knowledge of the taxonomy and ecology of native bees. While in Portland\, OR\, Stefanie worked with several urban gardens\, orchards\, farms\, and restoration areas to help incorporate pollinator habitat in these spaces. Originally from Cincinnati\, OH\, Stefanie has a strong knowledge of the Upper Midwest local plant communities and is excited to be back working with urban communities in the Midwest. \nMicah Kloppenburg\nWisconsin Pollinator Conservation Specialist\nThe Xerces Society\n \n \nAs the Wisconsin Pollinator Conservation Specialist\, Micah provides technical assistance to agricultural producers\, land stewards\, and community groups interested in creating and protecting pollinator habitat. Previously\, Micah worked as an ecologist for a WI non-profit where he supported land owners in achieving their habitat protection and restoration goals; and\, for a county parks department where he developed and led creative conservation activities and programming for youth and community groups. Micah holds a Master’s degree in restoration ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he studied plant community change in remnant hillside prairies in the Driftless region. He enjoys canoeing\, dabbling in jewelry metal art\, and growing as many onions and garlic as he and his family can fit in their small garden.
