LAST MEETING: Chris Stein spoke to the club about Operation Pollination, a collaborative Rotary project. The two main goals of Operation Pollination are: habitat restoration and pollinator education. He shared the importance of pollinators, they are responsible for pollinating more than 85% of the world's plants (we have seen more than 40% decline in pollinators since the 1970s).
