BLING! Biodiversity of Long Island Native Gardens [Video]
Learn how you can join in the project to catalog pollinators in private yards throughout Long Island. You do not need to be an expert – and this is a great project to do with children. Using the free iNaturalist app, you’ll learn which pollinators are in your yard and in yards around you. Besides learning to ID pollinators, you’ll be able to target your native plantings to sustain the pollinators you already have and attract new ones.
