Webcast: Knowing Oregon’s Bees

In this talk, August Jackson will present a vividly illustrated exploration of the diversity of Oregon’s bee species, their varied life histories, and examples of their relationships with our native flora. Getting to know our native bees is the first step to seeing them everywhere you go, and to appreciate the vital role they play in our ecosystem.

Chandra LeGue, Oregon Wild’s Western Oregon Field Coordinator, will also talk about how past and current forest management – from salvage logging to aerial spraying – harms native pollinators, and how efforts to protect and restore Oregon’s diverse forests and wildland habitat benefits them.
