LG037: NEW- Landscaping for Wild Pollinators and Habitat
This seminar will focus on concepts around protecting and enhancing populations of wild pollinators that will directly benefit the community and your clients. Cities throughout southern Ontario are scrambling to establish gardens for the protection of pollinator species and beneficial insects. Key examples will be provided on how to support these populations, such as protecting and creating habitat and understanding potential impacts of some landscape practices.

Topics include the principles of pollinator biology and basic field identification, and evaluating pollinator and beneficial insect habitat. Selection of plants for pollinator enhancement sites, management of landscapes, and the technical resources to support these efforts. Throughout the seminar case studies are used to illustrate pollinator conservation efforts across Ontario.

Participates will receive the Pollinator Conservation Toolkit which includes key examples on attracting native pollinators as well as habitat management guidelines and relevant publications.
