Great Southeast Pollinator Census
The Census is EVERYONE! You don’t have to be a insect expert or an amazing gardener to participate in the Census. It is to help everyone learn about insects and the importance of plants to pollinators. If you have an interest, this is for you!
How do you “do” the Census?
Identify a plant that has insects landing on it
Get an official datasheet, pencil and maybe a drink and chair
Fill out the basic information on the datasheet
Set a timer for 15 minutes
Put a tally mark next to the type of insect you see each time it lands on the plant (EVEN if you think it is the SAME insect)
After the 15 minutes is up, enter your data online at the QR code or URL at the top of the datasheet!
