Which pollinators are visiting your garden? Get to know native pollinators and how your garden can help them thrive at the W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary’s Native Pollinator Workshop on August 25 from 10 a.m. to noon.

KBS scientist, Nick Haddad, will showcase the Sanctuary’s Pollinator Garden as an example during this fun and educational outdoor adult workshop.

The cost of attendance is $25/member and $35/non-member; registration includes informational materials. Registration is required by August 20, and will be capped at 20 participants, so early registration is encouraged.

The W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary is located at 12685 East C Avenue, one mile north of M-89 and just west of 40th Street. To learn more, visit birdsanctuary.kbs.msu.edu, email birdsanctuary@kbs.msu.edu, or call (269)671-2510.

The W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary is part of the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. Celebrate with us our legacy of conservation as we mark 90 years since W.K. Kellogg donated the lands that now make up KBS to Michigan State University. Our commitment to research, education and outreach is built on W.K. Kellogg’s vision for cutting-edge science and learning.

As MSU’s largest off-campus educational complex, we’ve put our land-grant values into practice as we’ve provided the public with examples of science’s crucial role in sustaining natural and managed communities for nearly a hundred years. As we look forward, our students and faculty are working to understand and solve real-world environmental problems for a better tomorrow. To learn more about KBS, visit us online at kbs.msu.edu.
