Tim Mitchell will present “The Road to Recovery? Roadside Habitat for Pollinators.”
Habitat loss is the primary factor behind the decline of pollinators. Roadside rights-of-way represent a substantial area of publicly managed land that can serve as potential pollinator habitat. However, roadside risks are associated with them. Tim’s two-part talk will explore his research quantifying the risk of pollution for butterflies along roadsides and how Minnesota can cost-effectively improve roadside revegetation efforts for pollinators.
