About the event
Join GHCC and the Grande Ronde Community Science Project for a Bumblebee Survey in the heart of the Blue Mountains!
Calling all pollinator lovers — Join us for a bumblebee survey on Mt Emily, about a 1-hour drive outside of La Grande. This is a great chance to get outside, learn about native bees, and contribute to community science in the Grande Ronde Valley. We'll follow protocols developed by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the Pacific NW Bumblebee Atlas to help monitor and protect these important pollinators.
