Why Your Count Matters
Every 15 minutes you spend counting pollinators at Sejakgomo Farm contributes to real, actionable scientific data. Your observations aren't just recorded—they become part of the Great Southeast Pollinator Census, a collaborative research initiative tracking pollinator populations across our region.
Real Data for Real Conservation
Your census counts feed into peer-reviewed research that informs pollinator conservation strategies across the Southeast. Scientists use this data to understand population trends, identify at-risk species, and guide policy decisions.
Supporting Atlanta's Ecosystem
The data we collect helps researchers understand how pollinators are thriving in urban environments like Atlanta. This knowledge shapes urban agriculture practices, garden design, and conservation priorities in our city.
Strength in Numbers
Citizen scientists across the Southeast contribute thousands of data points each year. Together, we create a comprehensive picture of pollinator health that individual researchers could never achieve alone. Your participation amplifies the impact.
Learning While Contributing
As you count, you'll develop a deeper understanding of pollinator diversity, behavior, and ecology. Staff at Sejakgomo Farm guide you through the process, turning your 15 minutes into a meaningful educational experience.
Did you know? Pollinators are responsible for one in three bites of food we eat. By helping monitor their populations, you're directly supporting food security and ecosystem health for our entire region.
Join us at Sejakgomo Farm for your next census event and become part of a community-driven conservation movement that's making a measurable difference.
