September is National Pollinator Month!⠀
Parks for Pollinators is a national campaign to raise awareness and community involvement in the pollinator crisis through local parks and recreation.⠀
⠀
Throughout the month of September, the City of Sarasota Parks and Recreation District will be posting exciting facts and photographs that highlight our local pollinators and pollinator-friendly plants. "Bee" sure to follow us on social media!⠀
⠀
The City of Sarasota Parks and Recreation District is excited to announce their very first Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz Contest!⠀
⠀
Let's see how many pollinator species can be documented, this September, inside the City of Sarasota Parks!⠀
⠀
EASY TO PARTICIPATE⠀
With the iNaturalist app, you just take a picture of a pollinator (bee, butterfly, bat, etc.) or pollinator-friendly plant, and the community will help identify the species.⠀

You can participate by exploring the nature and wildlife in any of the City of Sarasota Parks. For the Parks for Pollinator BioBlitz, please include: Butterflies, Moths, Ants, Bees, Wasps, Sawflies, Flies, Bats, Beetles, Hummingbirds and Pollinator-Friendly Flowering Plants. Only these observations will count during our event.⠀
