About This Event
Some bumble bee species are disappearing—and we need your eyes and skills to help protect them. Join us for a training workshop for the Bumble Bee Atlas, a community science project aimed at gathering data needed to track and conserve bumble bee.
During this indoor and outdoor field workshop, you will be introduced to bumble bee ecology and conservation and how to participate in the Bumble Bee Atlas as a community scientist. You will learn how to catch, photograph, and identify bumble bees in the field. Together, we'll search the site for bumble bees and learn how to tell them apart from other bees.
We still have a lot to learn about Southeastern bumble bees, so we need all the help we can get to document where they occur and what habitats and plants they are using.
This event is pay-what-you-can, with a suggested contribution of $10 per person. Please first select a ticket level, and use the donation button if you would like to make an additional gift to support the Overton Park Conservancy and Xerces Society.

Overton Park Conservancy is the nonprofit organization that has been caring for Memphis’s central green space since 2012. With the generous support of our community, we work each day to make the park a beautiful and welcoming place for all Memphians, as well as a valuable source of urban habitat for wildlife.
The Conservancy must raise roughly 90% of our budget each year from people like you who care about the many things Overton Park has to offer. A gift of any amount helps us maintain and improve the park.
