Give Pollinators a Home – Make One at the Ocean County Library Berkeley Branch

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP – According to the National Park Service, we owe one of every three bites of food each day to pollinating insects. Their survival is challenged by diminishing habitats. Be part of the solution, right in your yard. Build a pollinator house at the Ocean County Library Berkeley Branch, 2 PM Saturday, March 1.

Members of the Ocean County 4-H Outreach Programs staff will take you through each step in creating an inviting, nourishing shelter and nesting spot for tiny creatures like bees, butterflies and beetles that carry pollen and keep our ecosystems healthy. Plus, they’ll educate you about the global value of your local effort.

The 4-H volunteers of the Cooperative Extension of Ocean County are part of America’s largest youth development organization. The group’s Positive Youth Development approach encourages application of each individual’s interest, abilities and strengths.
