Excited to share that Pollinator Partnership will be hosting a symposium at this Fall! P2's Associate Director, Lora Morandin, Ph.D, will be joined by Andony Melathopoulos of Oregon State University where they will be hosting a symposium on Diverse Partnerships for Pollinator Conservation.

When: Tuesday, November 11th from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Where: Entomological Society of America Conference in Portland, Oregon

What: Lora and Andony, along with a suite of conservation professionals, aim to inform attendees about creative partnerships that work across sectors to increase pollinator support in many landscapes. Pollinators are essential for food production and ecosystems, yet they face a multitude of pressures and many populations and species are in decline. This symposium aims to provide valuable insights to effectively collaborating with scientists, companies, government agencies, industries, and nonprofit organizations that are working towards conservation and want to expand partnerships for greater impact for improving pollinator and ecosystem health.
