Southeast Bumble Bee Atlas Training Workshop with Xerces Society

Come learn how you can join the Southeast Bumble Bee Atlas community science project and take action for bumble bee conservation in Tennessee with the Xerces Society.

Anyone with an interest in bees and a desire to help them in a hands-on way is encouraged to attend—no prior experience needed! Space is limited, so please register in advance at the button below.

As an outdoor facility, our programs and events are almost always dependent on the weather. We are also a force-free facility, so if one of our animal ambassadors isn't interested in participating in a program, we'll respect that and offer our audience a great alternative. We appreciate your understanding if your program changes. In the event of severe weather, programs may have to be cancelled.
