Pollinator Palooza

Pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, and beetles are crucial to our ecosystem, helping produce nearly a third of the food we eat and sustaining over 80% of flowering plants. Celebrate their importance at the Pollinator Palooza on Saturday, August 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Illinois Art Station in Normal, IL. Hosted by University of Illinois Extension and Illinois Art Station, this free, family-friendly event will feature hands-on activities, games, and booths from local organizations dedicated to pollinators, native plants, and local nature spaces. Let’s learn, play, and help protect the pollinators that power our plates and our planet!
