The Great Southeast Pollinator Census

The Great Southeast Pollinator Census is a citizen science project created by the University of Georgia.

This project is designed for everyone to participate and make a difference for pollinator conservation and takes place over two days.

This year’s Great Southeast Pollinator Census is dedicated to Walter Reeves—a trusted voice, passionate educator, and tireless champion for gardens and pollinators.
