Northern Water Hosts Youth Event Showcasing Pollinators

Northern Water hosted local advocacy nonprofit The Bees Waggle on July 10 for a Kid’s Pollinator Workshop.

The Bees Waggle owner and founder Jessica Goldstrohm led the class for children 6 years old and older to teach them about native bees and other Colorado pollinators and where to find them.

The workshop also highlighted the Conservation Gardens at Northern Water and demonstrated how various plants can attract pollinators. Pollinator plants are important because they support the pollinating insects and birds that also pollinate the plants that contribute to our food supply. The pollinators aid in plant reproduction, support biodiversity and contribute to nearby ecosystems.
