Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board encourage residents to participate in collecting data for the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project (MLMP) and the Empire State Native Pollinator Survey (ESNPS). This spring, pollinators such as bees are beginning to emerge from overwintering and monarch butterflies will soon migrate to Long Island, which means that the Town will be participating in these community science research projects to help learn about these important animals, many of which are in decline. The Town is dedicated and committed to these community science research projects which have brought attention to pollinators both here in North Hempstead and throughout our country, said Supervisor Bosworth.
