MN chapters meeting, "Neonics & Advocacy: Protecting Pollinators and Influencing Policy"
Online/Virtual
Public Welcome Free Event Chapter Meeting Program/Speaker Presentation
Featuring Lucas Rhoads, Senior Attorney with Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)’s Pesticides & Pollinators Team.
Learn about the environmental impact of neonicotinoid insecticides, the leading causes of pollinator and wildlife declines, and advocacy strategies to influence policies at both state and federal levels. This presentation will cover neonics’ effects on pollinators, birds, aquatic ecosystems, and human health, as well as solutions to reduce their use in agriculture and landscaping.
