FROM ONU.EDU/NEWS__A 5-acre sanctuary for pollinators and purple martins is taking shape around the Nature Pond on Ohio Northern University’s campus. Although still in the beginning stages of its development, the area is already teeming with life, says Dr. Bob Verb, professor of biological sciences and director of the nature center areas.

“We’re introducing a little refuge in our agricultural-rich location where native pollinators can find a consistent source of food and water,” he says.
