Pollinators*, at the Roxy Theater on June 24th, at 4 pm and 6 pm. Free

Along with Missoula Butterfly House & Insectarium, Missoula County Weed

pollinator information to Missoula.

Pollinators include insects such as bees, wasps, butterflies, moths,
beetles, flies, and even some birds and bats. However, pollinators have
experienced a decline around the world. Pollinators provide humans with one
out of every three bites of food we eat.



“Planting pollinator gardens is a great way to create habitat and make your
yard beautiful. The Missoula Conservation District is happy to provide free
wildflower seeds to anyone who is willing to plant pollinator gardens.”
Radley Watkins, Resource Conservationist, Missoula Conservation District.



All proceeds from *The Pollinators* movie will go to the Healthy Acres
Healthy Communities Foundation to build 2.5 acres of premier outdoor
education gardens at the new Rocky Mountain Gardens & Exploration Center
being built at the Missoula Fairgrounds. Tickets for the June 24th movies
are available through the Roxy Theater (406-728-9380, www.theroxytheater.org
