Pollinator Pathway
"Out of this idea, [started by environmentalist Donna Merrill in 2016], emerged the Pollinator Pathway as it exists today in the North East, town-based organizations run by volunteers from various town conservation organizations that encourage both 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 way-stations for pollinators."
