The City of Charlotte’s Landscape Management team is celebrating Pollinator Month this June with a series of free public events across the Queen City. Through hands-on workshops, guided walks, and community gardening days, residents can learn more about the essential role of bees, butterflies, moths, birds, and other pollinators while helping to build a more biodiverse and resilient Charlotte.
This year’s theme, Charlotte Buzzes Together, celebrates the ways our community can support pollinators and protect the natural spaces we all depend on.
