Small Space, Big Benefit

Learn about pollinator research in the Volusia Sandhill Ecosystem, a 0.5-hectare urban habitat fragment at Stetson University's Gillespie Museum in DeLand funded in part by a Florida Wildflower Foundation grant. Gillespie Museum director Karen Cole, along with professors Cindy Bennington and Peter May, will describe initiatives and research in the site that have increased public awareness about native pollinators and assessed the ability of the landscape to support a diverse insect pollinator community.
