About Utah Pollinator Pursuit:

Our Mission: "Improve conservation efforts for Utah's sensitive pollinator species by leveraging the power of community science."


Goals:

  • Engage community scientists to collect vital habitat and distribution data for Utah's declining pollinator populations

  • Discover areas that are crucial to pollinator migration and habitat connectivity

  • Develop target areas for habitat improvement to sustain pollinator populations across Utah and the West

  • Educate and involve community members in the most effective methods used to improve pollinator habitat
