Event

Pollinator Safari

Join us for an experiential educational opportunity at Kubota Garden designed for children ages 7-12. Learn about the BIG 5 pollinators (bees, butterflies, beetles, hoverflies, and wasps).

Insect ecologist Chloé Markovits will start by explaining how to use insect vials then guide the group to 2-3 spots in the garden to catch, observe, and release insects. Attendees will show-and-tell what they saw.

Chloé and the volunteers can help younger children catch insects. At the end, Chloé will recap what insects were seen that day and how attendees can support them in the future. Every safari is unique based on the age of the attendees and the insects seen that day.

An adult will need to accompany participants at check-in to sign consent forms.

The event is free of charge. Donations are appreciated. To become a help us keep our events free, go to the donate page of our website: www.kubotagarden.org/donate.
