Empowering educators with pollinator education toolkits

People know pollinators are important, but often don't know how to help. One solution to this is the UMN Pollinator Education Toolkits. These toolkits feature interactive activities that can be adapted to ages ranging from pre-school to adult and can be used at tabling events, in classrooms, or in formal presentations. The content focuses on action steps people can take to help pollinators. In addition, activities provide information about why pollinators matter, how they are doing, and address common misconceptions. Availability as digital content in addition to physical items increases the accessibility and adaptability of the content. For example, many digital materials are available in Spanish as well as English. By empowering educators with Pollinator Educator Toolkits, we vastly increase the potential to help more people help pollinators.
