Help protect the pollinators during National Pollinator Week by Eduardo de la Garza CEC Newsletter Editor Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it. They pollinate. Well fleas may not, but plenty of insects, such as butterflies, do.   National Pollinator Week began June 19 and runs through June 25. The event, managed by Pollinator Partnership was organized to protect pollinators — the birds, bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, and wasps. They’re the creatures that feed off flowers and carry pollen to other flowers. Protecting them was important, as the bee population was dwindling for years. Other pollinators were dying, the chief cause being climate change.   Through webinars, tool kits, and planting sessions Pollinator Partnership teaches children, teens, and adults about pollinators. And from 8-11 a.m. June 24, The Woodlands Township will help do that during their BioBlitz BioBooth at The Recreation Center at Rob Fleming Park. The event will have experts on hand to teach participants about birds, bees, and plants.   Pollinator Partnership also suggests planting, going on garden tours, participating in online bee and butterfly identification classes, or hosting a pollinator planting day at your school, office, or local park. However you recognize National Pollinator Week, recognize that everything is connected and needs to be protected.
