Description
The Nebraska Bumble Bee Atlas is a statewide community science project focused on tracking and conserving our native bumble bees. Anyone is welcome to join the Atlas—no experience is needed. Come work alongside researchers to help fill knowledge gaps about our native bumble bees!
At this field training, an Atlas staff coordinator will teach the basics of surveying at the Missouri National Recreational River (Mulberry Bend Overlook). This event will be a great way to learn how to use your insect net, collect data according to project methods, identify local bumble bees, connect with fellow volunteers, and get any lingering questions answered!
This event will take place outdoors. Close-toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen, and tick prevention are recommended.
Before attending this training, we recommend that you review the online training material or the participant handbook. Materials can be found here: https://www.bumblebeeatlas.org/pages/nebraska
