Operation Pollination: Conservation in Action at Mill Creek MetroParks
Operation Pollination Mahoning Valley, in partnership with Mill Creek MetroParks, is pleased to introduce an ongoing series highlighting conservation projects, educational opportunities, volunteer activities and community sharing. The featured presentation, “Conservation in Action: Habitat Restoration at Mill Creek MetroParks,” will explore how the park district is restoring and protecting natural habitats through reforestation, invasive species management, grassland and wetland restoration, and other conservation initiatives.
These projects play an important role in supporting pollinators, wildlife and healthier ecosystems throughout the park district. Native wildflowers, healthy forests and protected natural habitats provide valuable resources for pollinators while contributing to biodiversity.
The presentation will be led by Rachel Sobnosky, Natural Resources Manager for Mill Creek MetroParks. The approximately 10–20 minute presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
The program will take place Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST, live via Zoom. Advance registration is required.
Operation Pollination encourages our community to learn more about the conservation work taking place in our own backyard and discover ways we can help conserve natural spaces for pollinators, wildlife and future generations
