The Great Southeast Pollinator Census is scheduled for tomorrow!
If rain moves into your area, don’t worry, you’ll still have an opportunity to count.

Sunday, Aug. 23, and Monday, Aug. 24, have been added as designated rain dates so schools, groups and individuals can reschedule planned counting events if needed.

The forecast may look favorable across much of Alabama, but as we know, pop-up showers can happen. If weather interrupts your plans, simply move your count to one of the additional rain dates and keep participating.
