Exploring the Importance of Pollinator Pathways — Save the Sound — 10.26.2020

Exploring the Importance of Pollinator Pathways with with local eco-friendly gardening experts Jim Sirch and Mary Ellen Lemay.

With over 100. towns in CT and NY in various stages of launching Pollinator Pathway, this landowner outreach strategy has taken the region by storm in only 2 years. By planting natives, avoiding pesticides, and reducing lawn, this very scalable initiative has the potential to create healthy, connected habitats for pollinators and wildlife as they move across the landscape. The Pollinator Pathway has all the ingredients to help landowners restore biodiversity with simple action steps.

Pollinator pathways are pesticide-free corridors of native plants that provide nutrition and habitat for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. These pathways are crucial to biodiversity, the production of healthy crops, and the health of ecosystems that many wild animals rely on for food and habitat. Most native plants require less watering and upkeep than ornamentals and the pollinators you attract will help your other garden plants and vegetables flourish as well.
