Tufts Pollinator Initiative (TPI)
In 2019, a team of impassioned graduate students and faculty members at Tufts founded TPI, an organization with the goal of conserving insect pollinators in the surrounding urban region. Beyond conservation, TPI aims to educate community members about the importance of pollinators and what we can do to conserve them. I was fortunate enough to join a department that has invested so much in pollinator community outreach and education, and in 2023 alone, we've been involved in some great events. Check out photos below, and if you're in the region and interested in learning more about our mission or being involved, don't hesitate to reach out here or on the TPI website!

In addition to the work I've done with TPI, during my time at Penn State I was able to produce a few other extension materials focused on pollinator management and pollination, check them out below:
