Planning Unit: Entomology

Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

After two years of interruption two events that take place were completed at the Nature center at Land Between the Lakes Critters day on July 16, 2022 and the Hummingbird Festival on August 6 and 7, 2022. The first event had more than 600 people attending whereas the hummingbird festival had 1825 (1181 on Saturday and 644 on Sunday). The event included 15 volunteers, 15 staff, 20 presenters.  John M. Pollpeter (Lead Naturalist at LBL) said that the event was a success with 20 stands and a high number of visitors specially coming out of a pandemic. In this event we presented and showed the importance of pollinators, invasive species, native plants, insect services and conservation.
