Great Southeast Pollinator Census Slated for 2024

December 28, 2023 By Lucy Mercer Leave a Comment

Plan to plant a pollinator garden this spring to benefit bees, butterflies and beneficial bugs. You’ll enjoy building habitat for beneficials and, if you live in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, you can participate in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census.

The Great Southeast Pollinator Census is a University of Georgia citizen science project. It’s designed for people of all ages to participate and make a difference for pollinator conservation. The word “census” sounds very official, but this project is simply observing plants for 15 minutes and noting each time an insect lands on that plant. You upload your data to the website and that’s it — you’ve done your part.

This year’s count takes place August 23 and 24, 2024, in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

One of the benefits of the pollintor census is learning about more of the bugs that visit your garden. This is a robber fly landing on sedum in my garden, summer 2023. Photo by Lucy Mercer/A Cook and Her Books.
