Pollinator Habitat Installation at Liberty Elementary School
Nov 19th 9:30AM - 12:30PM
Be part of creating a living classroom! The Habitat Connection and Tennessee Environmental Council will transform Liberty Elementary’s schoolyard into a pollinator paradise—and we need your help. Volunteers will clear and prepare the garden, seed native wildflowers, and water the new habitat. No gardening experience required—just bring your energy and love for nature. Your efforts will give students a front-row seat to the wonders of pollinators and the power of native plants, leaving a legacy of learning and biodiversity for years to come. We’re proud to partner with the Nashville Zoo and Tennessee Valley Authority, whose sponsorship makes this event possible and reflects their commitment to conservation and education.

Note: Hummingbird banding will take place from 8–10 AM and 1-3 PM. Licensed banders from our BIRD Program manage the bird banding station and use mist nets and traps to carefully catch, band, and release each hummingbird. Depending on the number of birds and the number of trained volunteers assisting that session, we are happy to answer questions about the birds and banding and discuss data collected and bird banding tools. Kids are welcome!
