Dunwoody joins Bee City USA!
Read, take and print the Bee Dunwoody Pollinator Pledge by clicking here. Email your pledge to letsbeedunwoody@gmail.com to learn more about Bee Dunwoody.
Dunwoody's new Bee City USA signs were erected on May 20, 2020, also known as World Bee Day. "Bee Dunwoody" is a volunteer group co-chaired by Laura Johnson, a resident beekeeper, and Nathan Sparks, vice-chair of the Dunwoody Sustainability Committee. They are shown in the photo above with Michael Cowan, director of the Dunwoody Nature Center "Pollinators help vegetables, flowers and shrubs grow, many of which were planted during the quarantine. So by supporting pollinators, we increase Dunwoody's food harvest and its beauty," said Sparks.
