The Jacoby Creek Land Trust (JCLT) was awarded funds to develop research, educational programming, and workshop materials to promote establishing native plants in our community in support of native pollinators. Working in partnership, the JCLT and the Jacoby Creek School Garden developed a native pollinator workshop to be held in March 2020, and then the pandemic struck. The workshop was cancelled, and students began distance learning. During the past three years, however, they have continued to develop this project. The JCLT and Jacoby Creek School Garden have created multi-faceted educational programming for students that teaches the importance of native pollinators to our ecosystem and greater community. Their work will continue into the future. Stephanie Mietz is the Executive Director of the Jacoby Creek Land Trust. She has extensive experience working in place-based nonprofit organizations in rural settings. Partnerships and pollinators are her passion. As ED for JCLT, Stephanie has been developing partnerships within the local community to restore and steward the land and water within the Jacoby Creek watershed. Stephanie earned her bachelor’s degree in History and Linguistics from the University of Michigan and completed her master’s degree at Northern Arizona University in Rural Geography. Sue Moore is the volunteer leader of the Jacoby Creek School Garden. A former classroom teacher and lecturer, the garden is now her outdoor education space. She lives in Bayside with her husband, dogs, and a flock of fowl. #ConservationInAction #SequoiaParkZoo
