The Great Southeast Pollinator Census 2026 – Citizen Science at Work
We defined three goals of the project:
1. To create sustainable pollinator habitat by educating gardeners about using plants that provide nutrition for our pollinators while handling our summer droughts and do not have disease or pest insect pressure.
2. To increase the entomological literacy of our citizens. As I mentioned to one teacher, we want students to go from “oooo, it’s a bug” to “look at the tarsal claw on that bee!”
3. To generate useful data about our pollinator populations, so we can begin to spot trends and see how pollinator populations are affected by weather and how honey bees influence native bee populations.
Interested in joining our count this year?

THE EXTRAORDINARY CATERPILLAR FILM SCREENING - NOTE DATE CHANGE! Palm Beach County FNPS - Chapter Meeting - CONSERVATION GROUP
, Featured Presentation: The Extraordinary Caterpillar Film
We’re hosting a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems.
Watch the trailer HERE.
The Story:
Over 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature’s tiniest superheroes.Caterpillars are the engine of food webs. They feed birds, support pollinators, and keep ecosystems thriving. Through community-hosted screenings we hope to raise awareness and inspire people to restore caterpillar populations by restoring native plants in their very own backyard.
Homegrown National Park is proud to be the…
