organic fruit nursery and fruit farm in Jeffersonville VT, where they
practice ecological regenerative agriculture. Maintaining a pollinator
sanctuary with floral, nesting, and overwintering habitat is a high
priority on their farm. John has degrees in ecology and entomology and
has worked as a researcher, extension agent, consultant, educator and
organic grower for over thirty years. Nancy is a writer, artist, and
retired environmental engineering professor. She has degrees in ecology,
engineering, art, and writing. The farm and nature are inspiration for

<br>
The presentation will introduce the common insect pollinators and issues
facing them including pesticide toxicity, loss of floral resources and
habitat, disease and parasites. The Haydens recognize and treat
pollinators as key partners in their farm business. They will share what
they are currently doing on their farm to enhance native bee populations
with ideas on what you can do on your land. <br>
