Mission
URBCC is an Advisory Board whose purpose is to carry out the Xerces Society’s requirements for maintaining the Bee Campus USA designation at the University of Rochester. These requirements (listed at https://beecityusa.org/bee-campus-usa-commitments/) all aim towards advocating for the protection of pollinators. URBCC seeks to enact pollinator conservation on the University of Rochester campus to the best of our ability, engaging and educating the community with open access to information about the importance of pollinators to our temperate eastern deciduous forest ecosystem. URBCC will employ topics of sustainability in order to make the University of Rochester a pollinator safe-haven, ranging from including and educating the local community on-campus and off-campus in pollinator conservation, to utilizing native plants in grounds landscaping.
