Through this series we celebrated bees and trees and promoted the protection of pollinators and native plants. Programming included online and in-person events and promotions culminating on May 19 with the 4th Annual EcoExtravaganza celebration at the Arlington Arts Center.
Planting trees helps to moderate the climate, improve air quality, absorb carbon, harbor wildlife, prevent soil erosion, and reduce heating and cooling costs. Preserving and building the tree canopy, whether in public forests or on private property, is something we must all support and encourage.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service states that “without pollinators, we wouldn’t have many of the foods, beverages, fibers, spices, and medicines we use daily.” This series explored ways we can each help our pollinators, from planting flowers to avoiding pesticides.
