Description
This week’s guest is Dean Pearson, research ecologist with the United States Forest Service. Dean and his colleagues recently developed the urban pollinator matrix, a model municipalities and citizens can use to help threatened pollinators recover.
In this episode, Dean and Justin discuss pollinator decline, some of the findings of the urban pollinator matrix - including the difference between letting lawns grow wild and planting native species - and what takeaways citizens can glean from the model.
