The Vermont Center for EcoStudies is launching a pollinator research program in the Upper Valley, and the MRG is part of that study. The Center is asking “citizen scientists” to report on pollinator sightings, sending photos and relevant info to either iNaturalist or to VT Center for Ecostudies. There is a sign by the tunnel inviting all to record their pollinator sightings.
You can register your pollinator observations by downloading the QR code above, downloading the iNaturalist app on your cell phone, or emailing your photo to pip@vtecostudies.org. Remember that, in this case what is important is a clear photo of the pollinator and flower. Be sure to label your photo “MRG”. It will be interesting to see what varied pollinators visit the MRG and which plants they seem to favor.
