Pollinator Pathway Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge, Rhode Island Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge covers 787 acres of various wildlife habitats, including the only undeveloped coastal salt pond in Rhode Island. Over 72,000 visitors walk the trails of Trustom Pond each year. Many rare birds frequent the Refuge and bird watchers visit, from around the world, to photograph migrations and seasonal nesters. At the Visitor Contact Station, a native plant demonstration garden was created. The 2,700 square foot garden contains over 39 species of Rhode Island native plants. The University of Rhode Island Master Gardener Program and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service have partnered to restore habitat by replacing invasive plants with RI Native Plant species. Together, our mission is to create awareness of the importance of native plants in habitat rehabilitation. Our goal is to implement USFWS’s long term habitat restoration plan. Each year we expand biodiversity by introducing thousands of native plants at the Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge.

Pollinator Pathway Brown Deer Coneflowers (Echinacea) at Brown Deer Park by JSM We all love to watch butterflies, bees, and birds enjoying our green spaces. Unfortunately, their populations are shrinking due lack of habitat and food, and rampant pesticide use. We created BDPP to encourage our neighbors to plant native plants, trees, and shrubs, remove invasive plants, and forgo pesticide use. Every native plant, tree, and shrub helps our pollinators. Our goal at Brown Deer Pollinator Pathway is to have as many pollinator friendly yards and public spaces as we can.

Pollinator Pathway Mansfield Welcome to the Mansfield Pollinator Pathway. The Mansfield Town Council adopted a Pollinator Resolution in 2020. We are currently working in collaboration with the Towns of Chaplin and Windham, Joshua Trust, Eastern Connecticut State University and The Last Green Valley to establish contiguous, safe habitat for birds, bees, butterflies and other insects. Our Eastern Connecticut region contains bountiful trails and rivers which will become a documented pollinator pathway including private and public spaces, from small flower boxes or curbside strips to large parcels of land. Pollinators come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny wasps to butterflies to hummingbirds. Many insects have evolved to be plant specific and depend exclusively on native plants to host their larvae. Most local bees only have a travel range of half a mile before they need to refuel. Similarly, many native plants depend on specific soil conditions and pollinators to bear fruit. As a result, we need to involve our community in connecting our fragmented nature preserves, parks, town owned properties and our backyards with pollinator friendly plants. Regardless of where you live, your efforts can make a difference to our pollinator numbers and will help improve the quality of our town's air, water and soil. Please join us!
