Objective

The workgroup is charged with developing: 1) recommendations for how to evaluate/measure the effectiveness of state- and tribal-recognized pollinator protection plans at the national level; and, 2) a strategy to communicate that effectiveness to the public (defined broadly).  The workgroup’s goal is to make final recommendations to the full PPDC by fall of 2017.
