We are so excited that you'll be joining us as we document pollinators for the 2023 season! As we head into Spring, we're so grateful for our incredibly passionate pollinator volunteers, and cannot wait to kick off the season with you.
We invite you to join us on April 22, 2023 for our upcoming project training where you'll learn everything you need to identify pollinators, log your sightings, and how to become a site steward!
Sign-ups for our Community Science training day close TODAY, April 10th, so if you haven't had a chance to sign up yet, please take a moment to do so now!
2023 Volunteer Training
Join us on Earth Day (Saturday, April 22, 2023) at the Natural History Museum of Utah for our warm-weather community science project trainings!
The Utah Pollinator Pursuit training will be from 11:15am-12:15pm, and you're invited to either join other project trainings or enjoy the museum the rest of the day!
We've worked with Jess Embroidery Project & Embrogo to create custom project hats for the upcoming field season! Project training attendees will be entered to win an exclusive Sageland Collaborative Monarch & Milkweed hat.
Must be present to win.
If you're unable to attend the in-person training, fret not! We will have a recorded training available on our project page following the event.

In addition to our incredible volunteer base, the Utah Pollinator Pursuit relies on the expertise of our team of scientists and coordinators who process data and implement action items based on our volunteer's findings.
