KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Kalamazoo city commissioners will be asked to designate Kalamazoo as a Bee City tonight.
Sustainability planner Justin Gish says the designation will mean the creation of a Bee Committee, to pursue an action plan.
They hope to get out the word that pollinators are important, and that each of us should play a role in helping them thrive.
They will hold a kickoff event on Thursday at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts from 6 to 8 p.m.
The Bee City designation is part of a promotion by The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving insects and other living things that are essential to biological diversity and environmental and human health. The organization is named to honor an extinct California butterfly.
