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! You do not need to be an entomologist to partake; we ask for only basic insect identification into these categories: bumble bees, carpenter bees, honey bees, small bees, wasps, flies, butterflies/moths, other insects.

• Participants can visit the museum or office between 9am - 3pm to receive the counting sheet and a brief overview of how to count. 
• After the briefing, visit one of our trails and pick your favorite plant to count pollinators. Spend 15 minutes counting pollinators.
• When you return to the education center, please return your counting sheet to any staff member or docent for us to record.
• Participants are asked to stay on the trails at all time including while counting. 
• There is no age limit and registration is not required

What to Bring

• Pen or pencil & clipboard or something to write on
• Water bottle
• Sun/insect protection

We hope to see you here!
