About the event
Join us as we take a deeper look into the Colorado insects that pollinate and preserve the flora in our city center! Pollinators are the quiet workforce behind Downtown Denver's greenery, and this hands-on event is your chance to see their impact up close.
We'll start by learning how to identify and survey for various pollinators, from bees and butterflies to the many other insects that keep our urban landscape thriving. Then we'll hit the streets and put those skills to work: attendees will split into small groups and survey the planters along 16th Street, observing and recording which pollinators are active throughout the corridor.
By the end, we'll come together to compare notes on what each group found and talk about what our observations reveal about biodiversity in the heart of the city. Whether you're a seasoned nature enthusiast or just curious about the ecosystem hiding in plain sight…
