Chapter Calendar

Board meeting for board members only.

Preserving and restoring the natural nighttime environment is more urgent then ever.  Light pollution is the human made alteration of outdoor light levels from those occurring naturally.  When we over light, fail to use timers and sensors, or use the wrong color of light, we negatively impact many parts of our world.  Light pollution destroys critical wildlife habitat, wastes energy and money, harms human health, decreases safety and security, robs us of our night sky heritage, and inhibits scientific research.  The stars are disappearing but light pollution is reversible!!  Join us to explore this fascinating subject!!

All are welcome to join this free virtual panel discussion exploring the vital roles of native, solitary, and honeybees in pollination and biodiversity. Featuring experts Sam Droege (USGS), Dave Hunter (Crown Bees), and Dr. Lora Morandin (Pollinator Partnership), this event will discuss into the challenges pollinators face, the balance between managed and wild bees, and actionable ways to support all pollinators.

Gain insights from over 90 years of combined experience and learn how to advocate for pollinator habitats through planting native species, participating in community science, and adopting responsible management practices.
