KHPB JOINS BEE CITY USA

In May of 2023, the City of High Point’s City Council adopted a resolution that would allow Keep High Point Beautiful to participate in the Bee City USA program. This effort is to help bring awareness to the decline of the native bee population and how to be part of the solution.

High Point’s Bee City committee requested to use two small sections of land on top of the closed city landfill to plant some native flowers that our pollinators need and enjoy. Landfill staff ensured that the two areas were clear for planting and provided topsoil from Ingleside Compost Facility.

Many thanks to Carrie Council and the Piedmont Environmental Center for providing our native plants for this project. Additionally, Carrie, other Bee City committee members and friends helped move soil and plant the flowers. KHPB hopes that this team effort will lead to a brighter future for our native pollinators.
