Public Art Pollinator Project
Dr. Cameron Cartiere will be discussing her latest research project involving wild pollinators, technology, design and public art. The Public Art Pollinator Project is a collaborative revitalization initiative to raise awareness of the plight of wild pollinators, empower communities to actively engage in solutions for habitat loss, and transform under-utilized urban sites into aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable spaces that serve as pollinator pastures as well as public spaces. The project is sited in the cities of Richmond and Kelowna and managed through Emily Carr University and the City of Richmond; and UBC Okanagan and the City of Kelowna.
