From Fire to Flowers for Pollinators & People    NEW!

In both an in-person class and a field trip, students will learn about our valley’s native ecology and how and why incorporating native plants into urban landscapes will better support our native pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. Design considerations will be presented, along with some of the best native plants for urban gardens. The in-person class will include an introduction to some of the threats facing pollinators, how native plants help our pollinators, why we need pollinators, and what people can do in their own yards. The “From Fire to Flowers Garden” (FFFG) program is helping to replant the “Rogue Buzzway” in barren yards for people who are moving back into the fire-scarred areas. Students will have the opportunity to learn about and tour real-life examples of native pollinator gardens planted to help restore residential areas devastated by the Almeda Fire in 2020. No prior experience or knowledge is required. An activity waiver must be signed prior to the field trip.
