Collapse ▲Tips for Engagement:
- Count in Your Yard or Local Park: You don’t need a large garden! Find a flowering plant anywhere (your yard, a balcony, a nearby park) and count for 15 minutes.
- Simple Identification: Focus on the basic categories provided by the Census (bees, wasps, flies, butterflies/moths, other insects). Don’t worry about exact species identification initially.
- Share Your Enthusiasm: Tell friends, family, and neighbors about the Census and encourage them to participate.
- Generic Guidance about what makes a Successful Census Program for Community Organizers
- Generic Guidance about what makes a Successful Census Program for Conservation Organizations
Activities to Build Momentum:
- Plant a Single Pollinator Plant: Even one pot of a pollinator-friendly flower can make a difference and give you a focal point for the Census.
- Observe Your Surroundings: Leading up to the Census, take note of what insects are already visiting flowers in your area. This will help you identify good counting spots.
- Utilize Social Media: Follow the Great Southeast Pollinator Census on social media (Facebook @SoutheastPollinators) and/or get the email newsletter for updates and inspiration.
Utilizing Extension- and Research-Based Resources:
- GSePC Website: Download the “Insect Counting and Identification Guide” and “Counting Sheet” directly from the website.
- N.C. Cooperative Extension Local Events: Check if your local N.C. Cooperative Extension office is hosting any public count sessions or educational events related to the Census.
- NC State Extension Portal about Attracting Birds, Beneficial Insects & Other Wildlife: Provides simple steps for improving pollinator health in personal outdoor spaces.
