| Details | Just as roads and highways make travel easier and safer for humans, pollinator pathways provide our critically needed pollinators — birds, bees, butterflies — with routes for migration through pesticide-free corridors of native plants that provide nutrition and habitat. Environmentalist Donna Merrill will discuss the Pollinator Pathway system she created in Connecticut at the historic Pardee-Morris House. For weather updates check FB/IG or call 203 – 562-4183. Pollinator Pathways in Connecticut are town-based organizations run by volunteers that encourage citizens and municipalities to plant native pollinator-friendly plants and avoid pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Though each town identifies a pathway that they will focus on connecting by reaching out to home and business owners along it, all are welcome to join the pathway project by simply providing safe habitat waystations for pollinators. Even the smallest green spaces, like flower boxes and curb strips, can be part of a pathway. Merrill will offer visitors tip on how they can help contribute to pollinator pathways, covering topics such as: rethinking your lawn, pesticides, native species, controlling grubs, ticks and mosquitoes and more. |
