Free view of the LEAD for Pollinators presentation for River Rally 2021, “Paddling Upstream Without A Boat,” on our You Tube channel at https://youtu.be/qIwGwUHYAQg

This presentation was given at the May 2021 River Rally virtual conference by LEAD for Pollinators, Executive Director, Michele Colopy. “Paddling Upstream Without A Boat” discusses the benefits of collaborating for projects, education, and social change. Current social awareness and demands for change are highlighting many factors that have kept similar purposed groups apart, due to racism, gentrification, poverty, education level, economic status, and more. Through collaboration we can learn from others-how an issue impacts them and their environment. We expand our own point of view by collaborating, and we strengthen our community by collaborating.

June 19th we will be at Pollinator Palooza, Franklin Park Conservatory and Gardens, Columbus, OH– For more info click here
