Bees are certainly some of the most important pollinators in our ecosystem but did you know that birds, bats, butterflies, beetles, and some small mammals are also responsible for bringing us the food we eat? In Powerful Pollinators, research scientists will discover just how important pollinators are to the environment. The GUS campus and the North Shore are rich in pollinators! By engaging in nature walks, hikes, and many outdoor explorations, students will head out to explore vital pollinators. The culminating project will be in the form of an information book that each student will have authored to highlight their expertise. Students can also represent their expertise through an art medium of their choice.
