Register by June 8: 10th annual pollinator celebration at the St. Louis Zoo

By Marsha Gebhardt
President, Wild Ones – St. Louis Chapter

I want to make sure that Wild Ones members and followers know about one of the most interesting and most delicious annual events: the Pollinator Dinner at the zoo. For details, read the pollinator flier-2018 and check out the menu below!

Wild Ones will have our information table at the event and many of us who have gone in the past will be there again this year for the 10-year anniversary. As usual at such events, we encourage members to wear Wild Ones shirts and name tags. This increases awareness of Wild Ones and also serves as a show of organizational support for the zoo’s mission of pollinator conservation.

Reservations must be made by noon on June 8. Space is limited, and it always sells out. Hope to see many of you there.

To make a reservation, please call (314) 646-4897 or register on the zoo’s website.
