Beaver Creek Reserve, Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Pheasants Forever are partnering together to host Bees, Trees, and Cheese, an event celebrating National Pollinator Week and June Dairy Month. Landowners and farmers are invited to attend this special event.
This year's theme will be invasives: aquatic, forest, grassland and cropland. Multiple local conservation, sporting, and agricultural organizations will be exhibiting including the Department of Natural Resources, The Prairie Enthusiasts, Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission, Wisconsin Women in Conservation, and many more.
The evening will consist of the opportunity to visit booths and listen to guest speakers about different types of invasives and management. Booths will be open concurrently with presentations, so feel free to attend one or all of the presentations that are most interesting to you. Following the event, there will be an optional tour to learn about invasives.
