Gail Howe Trenholm <b>Sunday, May 1, 2016 at 1pm </b>at CCMNH 869

<b> <br>
</b> There are over 200,000 different species of animals in the
world that act as pollinators. Of these about 1000 are vertebrates like
birds, bats and small animals. The real workhorses are the 199,000
invertebrates that achieve the majority of our crop pollination. Everyone
knows about honey bees, but many people don’t know they are not native.
The unsung heroes are our native bees, wasps, beetles, butterflies,
moths, and even flies. <br>
<br>
Gail will provide an introduction and simple overview of the various
characteristics of these families of insects with emphasis on the more
important pollinators. She is a self-taught naturalist who recently has
developed a passion for our native bees and providing habitat both in her
own yard and throughout Oakville, ON.<br><br>
Gail Howe Trenholm is both a Master Naturalist and Founder and President
of Nature Visits Inc., an environmental education organization in
Toronto, Ontario. Prior to moving to Canada she was Conservation
Coordinator at Massachusetts Audubon's Broad Meadow Brook Conservation
Center and Wildlife Sanctuary in Worcester. She was an active member of
the Massachusetts Butterfly Club, and recently presented on pollinators
and bee hotel design at the Massachusetts Environmental Educators
Association's annual conference. During her career, Gail has conducted
many insect programs for anyone who will listen and those who have taken
her courses know her enthusiasm for insects is both inspiring and
contagious!<br>
