    FOP 031: Seeing the Forest for the Bees w/ Rachel Zitomer
    Oct 1 2024
    The role agriculture and other land uses play in pollinator lifecycles are fairly well understood, but what about forests? Many species of pollinators utilize forestland for food or nesting habitat but some forests better serve that function than others. We invite Rachel Zitomer to discuss her doctoral work at Oregon State University where she studied how pollinators interact with intensively managed conifer forests. We also discuss what forest owners can do to enhance beneficial habitat on their land.
