REFLECTION QUESTIONRegenerating Nature Volunteer in My CommunityWhat event did you volunteer for and what was the experience like for you?
Amanda White 10/18/2022 11:07 AMI 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. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONRegenerating Nature Support Local PollinatorsWhy is it important to take care of pollinators? Do you have a favorite pollinator?
Amanda White 10/18/2022 11:04 AMPollinators help our food grow. Without them, the pollination of our food sources would not be possible. Bats are my favorite pollinators.
