    I volunteered with the Detroit Zoo. We helped stage the zoo for their fall event, 'ZooBoo'. The zoo is a great place to learn about nature and conservation as a whole. I always enjoy volunteering at the zoo and this last time was no exception.

    Why is it important to take care of pollinators? Do you have a favorite pollinator?

    Pollinators help our food grow. Without them, the pollination of our food sources would not be possible. Bats are my favorite pollinators.
