What is pollinate?
The Pollinate Conference began in 2022 as the brain child of the Eaton Conservation District's Agriculture Specialist as a networking event to bring together women in agriculture and natural resource conservation to "cross-pollinate" ideas and share knowledge across the different sectors in both industries. The conference has grown to partner with conservation districts around Michigan to better serve people in different areas in the state.
In 2024, we established a partnership with the Michigan Association of Conservation Districts, which serves as our parent organization and fiduciary entity.
Natural resources and agriculture are intrinsically linked, but oftentimes pass by each other by way of intention or misunderstanding. By bringing together the people who practice each industry with passion and wisdom, we can cultivate working relationships the better serve our communities, our resources, and our food systems and wild spaces.
This conference is not exclusive to topics about pollinators. If you have accidentally reached us in search of pollinator resources (sorry about that!) let us direct you to some great options:
