About Micah Kloppenburg
Micah Kloppenburg is the Wisconsin Pollinator Habitat Specialist for The Xerces Society, a non-profit dedicated to the conservation of invertebrate life. Micah connects people, plants, and pollinators together by pulling from his years of environmental experience on organic farms, in community gardens, and restoring native Wisconsin plant communities. Above all, he is continuously surprised by the fascinating web of connections and interdependencies between the natural world and our human lives. When not geeking out about flowers and bees, he enjoys canoeing, dabbling in jewelry metal art, and growing as many onions and garlic as he and his family can fit in their small garden.
