Join the Northeast Pollinator Pathway
Pollinator Pathway Northeast is a grassroots movement focused on establishing pollinator-friendly habitat and food sources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating insects and wildlife along a series of continuous corridors. By connecting private and public spaces we can build back essential habitat.
Think like a Pollinator!
Design and maintain your yard and gardens with pollinators in mind. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offers resources for creating pollinator friendly habitat right at home.
The Massachusetts Pollinator Network
The Massachusetts Pollinator Network was formed to bring together individuals, community groups, organizations, and researchers who are working to protect pollinators across the Commonwealth. Through exchange of information, knowledge, and ideas the Network hopes to more effectively expand pollinator habitat and more rapidly mobilize residents in support of pesticide reduction practices and policy reforms. They are tackling head-on the challenges facing pollinators by promoting sustainable gardening and land management practices that focus on increasing native plants and decreasing chemical inputs, by providing free and accessible educational events for the public, and by actively organizing around and advocating for local and state policy reforms that will improve pollinator health in Massachusetts. The Network has a website filled with helpful resources for residents. We encourage you to follow and support the effort.
