Did you know that 90% of all wild flowering plants depend on pollination? Did you know that one in three bites of food we eat relies on bees for pollination? Sadly, many of our pollinator species in Canada are declining at an alarming rate. We can help save the bees and butterflies by creating a natural habitat and food sources for them right here at the Trafalgar Campus!
Come out on June 9th to help enhance our Wildflower Garden that we started in 2016. The Mission Zero team, Facilities Services, and the Centre for Indigenous Learning and Support are working together to offer this planting event. On June 9, we will be supported by Oakvillegreen Conservation Association. Under the guidance of their experienced educators, our volunteers will be guided to plant perennial native wildflowers and grasses. The new plants will further attract pollinators and prevent the invasive Buckthorn from returning to the site. Not only will this planting event help beautify the area, it will also increase campus biodiversity. Volunteers will enjoy a pizza lunch after planting.
Below are the details of the event with the registration link. If you are interested, please sign up soon. Spots are limited.
