Event is cosponsored with the North Quabbin Garden Club.
Aliza Fassler, a PhD candidate in the Environmental Conservation Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, will discuss the different kinds of wild bees in Massachusetts, a little bit about her research, and a little bit about what we can do to support wild bees. Aliza grew up in Greenfield, Massachusetts with a love for forests. Her PhD research focuses on improving habitats for wild bees as part of sustainable logging practices in the Lower Midwest. She also serves as the co-chair of the UMass Bee Campus USA Committee and a Renaissance of the Earth Fellow. In these roles she is working on increasing pollinator habitats on campus and exploring our relationships with insects across time. She is passionate about sharing her love for wild bees and other insects!
