Bee Campus USA Affiliate 

The ºÚÁÏÍø proudly participates in the Bee Campus USA program, an initiative by the Xerces Society aimed at fostering community efforts to protect native pollinators. These pollinators are vital to ecosystems, supporting plant reproduction and biodiversity. They include a range of species, such as birds, butterflies, beetles, moths, flies, and most notably, bees. Increasing native plant species helps boost native pollinator populations, enhancing the overall health of the ºÚÁÏÍø campus ecosystem.
