Pollinator Pathways

Pollinator Pathways connect pollinator species--e.g., bees, butterflies, bats, moths -- with the habitat they need to survive. This natural habitat attracts more birds and other wildlife as well.

Three ways you can support pollinators in your yard:

  • Stop Mowing part of your lawn and create a natural meadow.
  • Plant native flowers that provide food for our native bees and other pollinators.
  • Avoid pesticides and other lawn chemicals that kill native insects.
