UCR is a Pollinator-friendly Campus!
UC Riverside is designated as a bee-friendly campus and an affiliate of the Bee Campus USA program, which is a nationwide initiative to improve the landscape and well-being of pollinators. An initiative of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Bee Campus USA, and the associated Bee City USA program provide a framework for communities to work together to conserve pollinators through efforts such as increasing native plantings, providing nest sites, and reducing pesticide use.
The CIBER team was a driving force in obtaining the certification, and we conduct numerous activities and events each year to maintain our certification. For more information, click on this link.
