Monthly Program “Nature’s Hidden Workforce: How Beneficial Insects Support Our World”
March 6 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Not all insects are bad! In fact, most insects and arthropods are working behind the scenes to keep our environment healthy. Join us for an engaging program as we uncover the fascinating world of beneficial arthropods—the predators, decomposers, and pollinators that help control pests, recycle nutrients, and keep our plants thriving. Join us via Zoom on Thursday, March 6th at 7:00pm and discover who they are, where they live, and how they quietly support our ecosystems. You’ll learn the crucial roles they play in nature and how you can encourage them in your own backyard.
Appreciate the tiny creatures that make a BIG impact!

Join us for a Zoom presentation by Wizzie Brown, Senior Extension Program Director, IPM with Texas AgriLife. Her topic will be Beneficial arthropods (predators/ decomposers/ pollinators). The majority of insects and other arthropods are beneficial organisms, but they typically aren’t the ones that get the public’s attention. We will delve into the three basic groups of beneficial arthropods- decomposers, pollinators, and predators- to discover who they are, where they are found and how they benefit the environment.
