SUMMARY:Land Trust Learning Series & Annual Meeting: Rhode Island's Native Bees
DESCRIPTION:Do you know how many bees are native to Rhode Island? Are we doing enough to help them thrive in the landscape? Join us for a presentation by Casey Johnson\, Research Associate with the University of Rhode Island Bee Lab\, on Monday\, June 8\, in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library.  \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nThe Land Trust will hold its annual meeting at 6 pm in the auditorium. The presentation will follow immediately after at 6:30 pm. The entire event is free and open to the public. You do not need to be a Land Trust member to attend. \nCasey will discuss the diversity of native bees and their importance in our ecosystems. She’ll explore some of the common threats to bees\, such as habitat loss\, invasive species\, pesticide use and climate change. You’ll learn how homeowners\, gardeners and bee enthusiasts can help support native bees and gain a better understanding of how honey bees affect the native bee population. \nAbout Casey Johnson \nCasey Johnson joined the University of Rhode Island Bee Lab in 2019\, where she has worked closely with Dr. Steven Alm\, Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences and Entomology. She also serves as a part-time project coordinator with the Rhode Island Natural History Survey. \nCasey earned a Master of Science in biological and environmental sciences from URI in 2022 and Bachelor of Science in wildlife biology in 2019. \nHer research has included evaluating the Farm Bill conservation plantings for their impact on plant and wild bee responses\, creating a checklist of the bees of Rhode Island and examining the water-foraging preferences of honey bees. \n  \nThanks to our 2026 Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n \n \n  \n \nCharles E.
