2022 Pollinator Photo Contest
The Environmental Interpretive Center is now accepting entries in its 3rd annual Pollinator Photo Contest!
The University of Michigan-Dearborn has been certified as a Bee Campus USA affiliate by the Xerces Society since 2019 for its efforts to promote pollinator education and conservation. Following the success of the first two contests, the EIC is once again sponsoring a photo contest featuring pollinators and their flowering plants.
