Advocacy Chat With Dr. Tim Fredricks – Bayer Student Activity Sheet

In this #SpeakAg chat hosted by Florida FFA officer Jonathan Stephens, Dr. Tim Fredricks of Bayer Crop Science explains why pollinators are essential to both agriculture and healthy ecosystems. He offers practical tips for creating pollinator-friendly habitats of any size, from patio planters to large meadows, including how to organize plants like milkweed for monarchs and which blooms to choose across the seasons. The conversation also covers apps for documenting habitats, the petition to list the monarch under the Endangered Species Act, and ways urban and suburban FFA members can get involved through community spaces and school projects.
