Don’t Miss Missoula’s Bugs & Brews Event

I really like a fundraiser that's interesting, and this is one you may want to check out.

The Missoula Butterfly House is getting ready for another Bugs & Brews event, and if you've been wanting to go, you may want to grab your tickets soon. This event tends to sell out pretty quickly.

Mark Your Calendar: Bugs & Brews Event Details

The September edition of Bugs & Brews is happening Thursday, September 24, and this time the theme is “Rewild Your Yard: Growing Habitat One Backyard at a Time.”

Meet the Expert: Marirose Kuhlman

The special guest is Marirose Kuhlman, habitat coordinator for the Missoula County Department of Ecology and Extension. I've had the chance to talk with Mary Rose, and she does an amazing job talking about something that's incredibly important to all of us: bees and pollinators.

She also coordinates Missoula County's Bee City USA program and leads the Rewild Your Yard initiative.

Rewild Your Yard: Create Pollinator Habitats

If you've ever wondered why you've heard people talking about waiting to mow your lawn in the spring, this is part of that conversation. Giving those early-season flowers and plants a chance to grow provides important habitat and food for bees and other pollinators.

When you think about it, without pollinators, our food supply would look very different.

So you can enjoy some Bugs & Brews, learn more about bees, and get some ideas for making your own yard a little more welcoming to pollinators.

It's happening Thursday, September 24th, at the Missoula Butterfly House. Tickets are available now, but they tend to go quickly, so this is one you probably don't want to wait on.
