Pollinator Pallooza on Saturday, May 18

This year, Pollinator Palooza will celebrate the important impact bumblebees have in our environment. In partnership with the Friends of Estabrook Park and Shorewood Waters Project, the annual Palooza will be held on Saturday, May 18, from 11:00-2:00 pm in Estabrook Park. 

There will be a wide range of family-friendly activities, including bird house painting, making bee habitats, giveaways of native perennial plants, and guided bee identification sessions. Several local environmental and land-use organizations, including Discovery World, Milwaukee RiverKeeper, and Friends of Shorewood Nature Preserve, will be on hand with information about how to get involved in conservation issues as well as make your yard more pollinator friendly and sustainable. 

Pollinator Palooza III will be held at the picnic grounds across from the southernmost parking lot in Estabrook Park (Picnic Area #8), i.e. the first one north of Capitol Drive. 

Want to move in nature even more than strolling through the Pollinator Palooza event? The Palooza will be preceded by a Friends of Estabrook park “Weedout in the Park” starting at 9:00 am in the southernmost parking lot.
