A huge thank you to the Berry College BCC student volunteers who spent time last Friday helping us care for the Chieftains Museum campus!

These students worked hard picking up limbs, debris, and trash, and even gave our outdoor signage a much-needed cleaning. They also joined us for our Pollinator Pop-In event and helped us count and record the important pollinators that keep our gardens growing. 🐝🦋🌼

We are so grateful for their time, energy, and willingness to get their hands dirty to help keep our historic campus beautiful. Thank you, Berry College BCC, for supporting Chieftains Museum! ❤️

🐝🌸 Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Pollinator Census!

We had such a great time getting outside, exploring the garden, and learning more about the important pollinators that help our ecosystem thrive. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and helped us count and identify pollinators as part of the Great Southeast Pollinator Census!

A special thank-you to the Floyd County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers - Georgia for partnering with us and helping make this event possible!

We loved seeing so many families and community members get involved. Thank you for helping us support pollinators and learn more about the natural world around us! 🦋🐝🌻
