“Bee” an Advocate for Birds, Butterflies, Beetles and Bats During National Pollinator Week, Says U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
A bevy of public events hosted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and its partners will be held around the nation to mark National Pollinator Week June 17-23. Activities will highlight pollinator species and focus on their crucial importance to other wildlife, plants and people.
"Pollinators on our nation's public and private lands play a key role in keeping our ecosystems diverse, which in turn provides for healthy habitats and economies," said Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, who recently signed a 2013 National Pollinator Week proclamation. "We appreciate the important public-private partnerships that are working together to encourage the long-term health of pollinating creatures."
