POLLINATOR

This three-year community project represents an important collaboration between citizen scientists of the Thompson-Shuswap Master Gardeners, the general public, Thompson Rivers University, and Big Little Science.

The project provided important data regarding the abundance of pollinators in the Kamloops area during the summers of 2017- 2019. It was initiated by the Master Gardeners because of the lack of information surrounding native bee abundance and diversity here.

THIS REGIONAL GUIDE IS JUST ONE in a series of plant selection tools designed to provide you with information on how to plant local native plants for pollinators. Each of us can have a positive impact by providing the essential habitat requirements for pollinators including food, water, shelter, and enough space to raise their young.
