Join The Great Florida Pollinator Census

Register & attend the Lunch & Learn: Great Florida Pollinator Census webinars to learn more about the importance of pollinators and their identification:

July 29: Lunch & Learn: Pollinator Gardening and Insect Conservation (webinar), 12 PM – 1 PM EDT | Eventbrite

Visit Extension to receive your Great Florida Pollinator Census form (webinar attendees will be mailed a copy) or download a copy here.

On August 21 or 22, sit in front of a flowering plant for 15 minutes, and count the number of times any pollinators land on the plant. Record these numbers on your census sheet. Watch this video from last year to learn how:

Upload your census data into the University of Georgia Great Southeast Pollinator Census portal, open on August 21.

Every count helps build a better understanding of pollinator health in our communities. By spending just 15 minutes observing pollinators, you can become part of a growing network of citizen scientists working to support research, conservation, and environmental awareness.

This August, take a closer look at the pollinators around you—because every count counts!
