At home:

Summer is the perfect time to take stock of who is visiting your garden, patio or neighborhood... sit back, relax and look closely at the pollinators in your neighborhood. Keep a pollinator journal with others in your home and see just how many species you can spot. Understanding who lives here will help you provide good habitat for these precious PNW gems.
