Presentation by Kaitlin Haase of the Xerces Society
Harlan Hall, Room 111, corner of 12th and Alabama Streets, Silver City
The work of pollination is never over—even after dark! When our day-active (diurnal) pollinators turn in for the evening, nocturnal pollinators such as moths, bats, beetles, and even some species of bees take on the night shift to feast on nectar. Join Kaitlin Haase, Southwest Pollinator Conservation Specialist with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, to learn more about the thrilling night life of plants and pollinators and how you can support the ecology of the night.
The program is free and open to the public. Come to Harlan Hall, Room 111, on the WNMU campus. Those who prefer to join in online may request a Zoom link from

Silver City, NM — As a race sanctioned by the global governing body of cycling, Tour of the Gila must provide housing for teams participating in the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) men's and women's races. Amateur racers tend to book up the hotels and vacation rentals in Grant County, and it's more cost-effective for the race to house teams with local families.
Staying in a home with a kitchen and bike storage is also more convenient than a hotel, where space is limited and meals cannot be cooked for large groups. While some teams do book hotel rooms for their riders and staff members, others rely on volunteer housing hosts to welcome them in.
