Diverse Partnerships for Pollinator Conservation

Tuesday, November 11, 2025
1:30 PM - 3:30 PM Pacific
Location: Oregon Convention Center, E141-142, OCC

Oral Presentation

Scientists are not always adept at translating scientific information for non-scientists and inspiring action. Attendees will learn about creative partnerships that work across sectors to increase pollinator support in many landscapes. Ideas for engaging in new partnerships and expanding action, outside of the science and conservation community, will be highlighted.
