By raising awareness and sharing knowledge about the impact humans have on the health of pollinating insects, the organization hopes to encourage Canadians to take simple actions throughout the year in order to help their survival.

It will organize a sale of flowers and seedlings produced in the MRC of Portneuf, offer workshops on pollinating insects, hold environmental awareness kiosks as well as several participatory workshops which aim to raise awareness of pollinators and their impacts. essential to our ecosystem.
