How to Use This Program
This program was designed for you to provide a more in-depth experience for your clients with an interest in pollinators. The program has seven modules and it is recommended that you lead one module a week. Order the three books listed for each participant. Anything you charge the group over the cost of the books is for your programming.
Prior to presenting the program, go over the resources for each week and decide how you want to use them. Each week has a theme, several activities, resources, and a corresponding journal article. To round out each class, consider a guest speaker or a field trip. For example, for Honey Bee Week you may want to invite a local honey beekeeper and for habitat week you may want to visit a local garden.
Use the Georgia Pollinator Steward logo for flyers, tee shirts, hats, etc.
Make this program your own. Make it work for your county. Decide in advance what you will ask of your participants once the program is completed. Do you want them to build a demonstration garden at your Extension office? Do you want them to provide educational programming to others? Do you want them to lead census counting for the Great Georgia Pollinator Census?
If you have any questions please contact the project coordinator, Becky Griffin at beckygri@uga.edu. If you use the program, we would appreciate any feedback as this program is new.
