Pollinator Club at UC San Diego

We are the club that advocates for the native pollinators on and off the UC San Diego campus! We aim to build a community of students interested in protecting our native pollinators and learning more about the importance of their relationships to us and others in our environment. Follow us for social and professional opportunities, resources, and events that will aid in saving our pollinators!

Bee Campus

UC San Diego is now a Bee Campus! Bee Campus USA aims to sustain native pollinators by increasing native plant populations, providing nest sites, and reducing pesticide use. These campuses are also responsible for inspiring others to take action in conserving native pollinators through education and outreach!
