Wisconsin Bumble Bee Brigade: An Overview & How to Get Involved

The Wisconsin Bumble Bee Brigade is the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ newest citizen-based monitoring project. Jay Watson of the DNR describes how the BBB is partnering with the public to improve understanding, management, and conservation of Wisconsin’s 20 native bumble bee species, many of which are in decline. Volunteers can participate by submitting incidental observations or conducting surveys.

In the three years since the project started, many volunteers have submitted observations from across Wisconsin. Jay reports the results, provides highlights from the project, and shares how you can get involved. Sponsored by NextEra Point Beach Nuclear Plant.

Registration required by Friday, April 9. Call (920)793-4007 or email Jess at jessicaj@woodlanddunes.org with your name, phone number and email address. A link to the presentation (and directions) will be emailed in advance.
