JUN 22 – 28, 2026
Celebrate National Pollinator Week at the Zoo!
Pollinators support the plants we eat and the ecosystems we depend on. Unfortunately, many pollinators are threatened by habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. You can help by planting native flowers, reducing pesticide use, and protecting pollinator habitats. Visit the Zoo to learn how everyday actions can help pollinators thrive and how you can get involved!
Fun Fact: Butterflies can taste with their feet.
