John Fromer will host "Pollination and Pollinators" on Friday, Aug. 7, at 10 a.m., as part of its Free Family Fridays series at Merryspring Nature Center.

"Pollination is very important to plants trying to increase their population and creatures looking for fruit, nuts, and seeds including us,
said Merryspring, in a news release.

This one-hour program will consider how pollination works and includes a garden walk to look at flowers and pollinators, and a short walk to the honey bee hives at Merryspring.

Please meet in the lower parking lot at Merryspring a little before 10 a.m. In case of heavy rain, this program will be canceled.

Preregistration is necessary for this event, with limited space available. Guests may sign up by calling 207-236-2239 or by emailing info@merryspring.org.

Admission is free to all. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
