Workshops, volunteer days, and community gatherings across the Sacramento region. Free and open to the public unless noted.
A guided two-mile walk through native riparian habitat with one of our field naturalists. Learn to identify 20+ pollinator species in the wild and discover which plants attract them. Family-friendly — children welcome with an accompanying adult.
Join us for the annual World Bee Day community gathering at Capitol Park. Live beekeeping demonstrations, honey tasting, native plant giveaways, kids' activity stations, and talks from conservation researchers. One of the largest pollinator events in the region.
A hands-on planting workshop at Soil Born Farms. Participants will plant a native pollinator garden bed, receive a take-home native seedling, and leave with a personalized planting guide for their zip code. Space is limited to 30 participants.
Help us restore native pollinator habitat at the Cosumnes River Preserve. Volunteers plant native wildflowers and grasses along designated restoration corridors. Gloves and tools provided. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring water. All fitness levels welcome.
Every event we run adds to a growing network of informed citizens, restored habitats, and protected hives. Here is what the last few months looked like on the ground.
Over 120 community members gathered at Sacramento's Clunie Community Center for our annual Earth Day event. Attendees met several colonies that had been rescued from extermination and watched their placement into permanent apiary homes. Three local schools received hive sponsorships funded by attendee donations.
Forty-two volunteers worked across two days to plant a 1.2-acre native wildflower corridor at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. Species planted included purple coneflower, California poppy, gumplant, and native buckwheat — all selected for their high value to native bee populations.
Our education team delivered 14 school assembly programs across Elk Grove Unified School District over two days, reaching more than 1,800 students in grades 3 through 6. Each school received a classroom observation hive and a copy of our Bee Activity Kit.
We bring beekeeping education and conservation programming directly to schools, businesses, and community gatherings across Northern California.
