A bumblebee feasts on the nectar of a large-leaved lupine. The orange pollen basket on the bumblebee is a collection of pollen on its hind legs.
Come meet pollinators of all types at the Pollination Celebration at Howell Territorial Park! Metro is excited to partner with the Sauvie Island Center for this fun, family friendly educational event in support of National Pollinator Week. Through interactive games and a pollinator scavenger hunt, guests will learn about bee habitats and attracting pollinators. Everyone will receive a pollinator passport and a map for the event. From there, guests will depart for a self-guided tour visiting a variety of hosted stations around the farm and on the grounds of the park. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch, enjoy the grounds of Howell Territorial Park and visit one of the many neighboring u-pick berry farms on Sauvie Island.
