N.H. Garden Club details Pollinator Pathway project

Contributed

The North Haven Garden Club is pleased to announce membership in the Pollinator Pathway Project, an effort which brings awareness to the need of planting trees, shrubs and flowers to support pollinators such as birds, insects and wildlife.

Pollinators, which are essential for plants to reproduce and grow flowers and food, are under threat from use of pesticides/insecticides and loss of habitat through the expansion of urban and suburban areas.

The concept of the Pollinator Pathway Project is to identify pollinator-friendly habitat along a series of continuous corridors, with a goal of having connected properties no farther apart than 750 meters.

This allows an expanded area for pollinators to forage for the nectar they require.

Garden Club member Gerri Giordano has researched North Haven properties, including Land Trust parcels and club-managed gardens, to create a map of all the pollinator locations in the community.

This map, along with photos and descriptions of town gardens, will be uploaded to the Pollinator Pathway Project website.

Please note that small wooden furniture items are not included and can be put out with your regular trash as long as the items are cut to no more than four feet in length. Carpet and pool covers are not included and can be put out with regular trash if cut to four-foot lengths and securely tied.

For disposal of hazardous waste items, call 203-401-2712.
