UMass Senior Lecturer Britt Crow-Miller invites the public to join her and her UMass environmental education students, in a bug advocacy event at the Amherst Farmers Market on the Town Common on Saturday May 11, from 7:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. There will be crafts, take-home activities, adopting a ladybug, building bug houses, and so much more! Come learn about how we can be neighbors with insects, and why it’s so important to our community.  The event is free.

“We are hoping that people will learn about the various ways that bugs support us and how we can support bugs,” said graduate student Cassidy Hemmecker.
