The talk will begin at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 19, in the meeting space of the Oxford County Cooperative Extension, 9 Olson Road.
Those who attend can learn about bees, butterflies and hoverflies. Mullally will discuss the breadth of Maine’s native pollinators, their importance in the ecosystem and food supply, and how to support the creatures.
She will especially focus on utilizing native plants in creating pollinator habitat, according to a news release from Chantelle Hay, Education and Outreach coordinator.
