Why pollinators are declining: Loss of habitat Disease Use of pesticides

What M-NCPPC is doing:

100+

• Planting pollinator zones

• Providing the space, training & info for new beekeepers • Planting bee-friendly gardens

Lack of public awareness about their importance A drop in experienced beekeepers

See a hive or a swarm of bees? Don't kill the bees,

M-NCPPC’S POLLINATOR PROJECT addresses these issues and supports our butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators that are important to our environment and economy. Here’s how Parks and Recreation is making a difference:

Pollinator Zones

Over the next several years, WE’LL BE PLANTING MORE THAN 100 ACRES OF POLLINATOR HABITAT such as meadows and wildflower fields. These landscapes will support hundreds of pollinators across the County, as well as limit mowing of grass – reducing our carbon footprint and supporting our broader conservation goals. In addition, WE HAVE MORE THAN 15 POLLINATOR GARDENS AT OUR COMMUNITY AND NATURE CENTERS, AS WELL AS OUR RIVER PARKS. These higher profile sites serve to not only provide habitat, but also educate our patrons on the importance of this work.

Beekeeper Collective

One of the first of its kind, we’ve launched the Beekeeper Collective in an effort to BUILD A STRONGER, MORE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY FOR BEES, BEE SUPPORTERS, AND BEEKEEPERS. With our local partners, our FIRST PILOT PROGRAM IS LOCATED AT WATKINS REGIONAL PARK, where we provide the space, training, and information to help launch a new generation of beekeepers. The Department of Parks and Recreation will even have our own hive and produce honey that you can buy on site. For information on how to get involved in the Beekeeper Collective, please visit outdoors.pgparks.com/Stewardship.

Backyard Buzz

No matter the size of your backyard, you can join the Pollinator Project and help make a difference. THE FIRST STEP IS TO GO NATIVE AND PLANT A VARIETY OF SHAPES AND COLORS TO ENCOURAGE DIVERSITY. Remember that native wildflowers will be better adapted to your climate than exotics. To help build the buzz, WE’LL BE GIVING OUT SEED PACKETS AT SPECIAL PARKS AND RECREATION EVENTS that, when planted, will bloom into beautiful flowers later this summer.

CALL THE BEE HOTLINE! 301-627-7755

A beekeeper will find the bees a new and safe hive location.

Here are things you can do right now to make a difference!

1. Shop Smart

Organic food is produced without the use of commercial pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides, making them inherently more pollinator-friendly than conventionally grown products.

2. Keep It Blooming

Among your native plants, make sure something is blooming each season (spring, summer, and fall). Some pollinators are active all year, others only in April and May, still others in July and August, and all need to feed regardless of the date.

3. Save Money on Mulch

Leave a little bare ground. Most species of bees are solitary, and some 70 percent of them dig a nest in the ground to raise their young—something they can't do if mulch is in the way.

4. Go Easy on the Chemicals Pesticides can affect more than pests. These chemicals are harmful to bees and butterflies, as well as the soil and water supply – affecting your local environment and wildlife.

5. Spread the Word

Share information about our Pollinator Project and social media pollinator posts with your network.

Increase your inner peace! Non-competitive, self-paced, and relaxing, Tai Chi is an ancient art of exercise for balance, stretching, muscle tone, and flexibility. In this “mind-body practice”, as described by Harvard Health, we gain focus, move gently, usually in a small circular fashion, while breathing deeply. Tai Chi is adaptable to those with joint, muscle, and back problems.

It’s 1969 and the Civil Rights Movement is sending tremors through Pittsburgh’s Hill District. At the center of the community is Memphis Lee’s diner, slated to be demolished - a casualty of the city’s renovation project. Confronted with a rapidly changing world, Memphis and his regular customers struggle to maintain their solidarity and sense of pride. From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson comes this masterpiece about everyday lives in the shadow of great events, and of unsung citizens who are anything but ordinary. “Mr. Wilson’s most adventurous and honest attempt to reveal the intimate heart of history.” (New York Times) Enjoy a choice of soup or salad, main entree and dessert at The Cafe prior to the show.

Afro Blue

This extraordinary “vocal big band” from Howard University calls to mind Manhattan Transfer, Take 6, and Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, but Afro Blue puts its own brilliant imprint on jazz song styles. Widely hailed for its flawless technique and ingenious renditions of music that, while primarily jazz, also includes traditional and popular melodies, Afro Blue has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and NBC’s The Sing-Off, and has performed at the White House and the Kennedy Center. A perfect Mother’s Day outing or just a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, Afro Blue performs jazz vocals at its very best.
