A series of Sunday workshops at Deering Estate explores South Florida conservation through pollinators, environmental education and native wildlife. Running on select Sundays from October through June, the Conservation Workshop Series brings local experts and organizations to the Visitor Center Exhibit Room for programs designed to connect ecological knowledge with practical stewardship. The season opens Sunday, October 11 with a pollinator workshop presented by the North American Butterfly Association’s Miami Blue Chapter.
The October 11 session, led by Adam Skowronsk, examines the importance of nectar plants for butterflies, bees, moths and birds, including native species that are often overlooked or removed as weeds. The discussion also considers how herbicide and insecticide use can affect pollinator habitat.
