Pathways: The Secret World of Plants & Pollinators
Wed, May 22
10:00 am – 11:00 am
Pathways: The Secret World of Plants & Pollinators
Theater

This presentation will focus on the incredible ways in which plants communicate with animals. Flowers are not pretty colors and pleasant smells for us—it’s all about the pollinators. Discover amazing strategies of plants, the colors that pollinators see, and ways in which both plants and animals can help or deceive each other. Did you know that a bee’s eye view is extremely different from what we see, and from what a bird sees? Participants will find that taking a much closer look at flowers can open up an entire hidden world that is more complex and fascinating than one ever imagined.

Join Medford Leas residents for this field trip to the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. This is a birdwatcher’s paradise and great spot for photographers and nature lovers!

In addition, Boat-tailed Grackles and various gull species should be in the area.
