Are you curious about the natural world around you? Maybe exploring
career pathway options? Then join the Michigan Nature Association for
a day as a field biologist as you help survey for bumblebees and
butterflies!
What does a career in environmental
conservation look like? Join the Michigan Nature Association for our
"Green Career Trek Patch Program" to explore how you can
become a future conservation leader. Learn how scientists survey for
different types of special and rare species, the importance of
managing habitat for endangered plants and animals, and gain field
skills to help you traverse Michigan's many different
ecosystems!
The patch program curriculum is designed to
give participants an in-depth view to several different career paths
within the Environmental Conservation field - from bee scientists to
endangered orchid scientists, to rattlesnake scientists - there is
bound to be a specialty that sparks individual curiosity!
Bees and Butterflies!:
Join in on protecting pollinators while
experiencing a day in the life of a field biologist. During this
hands-on event, participants will survey for native bumblebees and
butterflies, contributing valuable data to Michigan's community
science initiative, the Bumblebee Atlas. Along the way, we will
explore pollinator ecology, the importance of native habitats, and how
community science plays a critical role in conservation.
