Bluestem has covered pollinator policy debates in the past few years, and so we're excited to learn that this event is happening in our county (via CURE):
State Representative Rick Hansen (DFL – South St. Paul) will be hosting a Pollinator Public Policy Forum on October 10, 2014 at the Clean Up the River Environment (CURE) Office in Montevideo.
