The Alaska Pollinator Coordination Group (APCG) improve conservation and management of pollinators and their habitat in Alaska through information sharing, collaboration, and the coordination of research and monitoring, public outreach, and education. Membership is voluntary and is open to active leaders in pollinator research/monitoring, outreach, conservation, and management from federal agencies, state agencies, universities, and non-profit organizations. Currently APCG has over 60 members representing at least 20 organizations.
