Jim Toia - Petri Island Project |
I recently came across an article while wandering through the wilderness of the web in
Orion Magazine's blog which referenced
Jim Toia's Petri Island Project.
It was a great article by Charles C. Mann. (Here's a link to the
post).
Coming across Jim's work inspired me to see where the wind had swept some of our Pollinators in the past year.(I can't believe we are coming up on nearly a year since the Plight of the Pollinators project came to fruition)!
I did a check in at
Flanders with Dianne Parmalee to get an update on how the Beekeeping Workshops had fared.
Not only were the hives thriving but the group has new members and last week new bees arrived for this years season.!Some found homes with last years beginning beekeepers!!! Now that is what I call success!
Listed below are a few of the projects and shows the artists of Plight of the Pollinators have been involved with. Apologies if all who participated aren't currently presented!!! Here is a link to the show
online.
If you are new here and wondering what this is all about you can check out the Plight of the Pollinators on our Field Projects Gallery page
here.

The Hudson Valley Seed Library, whose seed packets are graced with these artists images, would be a great place to get your seeds for this years planting season!!!

M. Genevieve Hitchings has a great new interactive piece on her site
Artorium, "The Business of Higher Education." You can check out her Urban Pollinators project there and I love her interactive piece on Snow Leopards that she did for the Wildlife Conservation Fund.
