Pollinator Pathway Harrison The Harrison Pollinator Pathway is a volunteer-led organization focused on bringing pollinator habitat to Harrison, West Harrison, and Purchase. We are working with the town to create a corridor of private and public gardens to provide more safe landing spots to our local pollinators. Right now we are focused on mapping established gardens and empowering local gardeners to add natives to established gardens.

Pollinator Pathway Monterey Welcome to Monterey, a proud participant in the Pollinator Pathway project! In 2020, a few residents got together and established the Monterey Native Plants Working Group with support from our local cultural council. Our mission is to encourage native plants and pollinator-friendly habitats around our town. We have been buoyed by the enthusiasm of our community to build ecological resilience. In 2021, we lobbied, successfully, for the town to be designated as a pollinator-friendly community - Resolution to make Monterey a Pollinator Friendly Community . We have established a propagation plot at our community garden and a living interpretive exhibit at our raised bed at Lake Garfield Beach. We have also advised on and helped install a native plants buffer zone along the Konkapot River near the center of town in coordination with the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission and our Parks Commission. On a monthly basis, our Backyard Ecologist series takes up specific issues related to pollinators, from tips on putting gardens to rest at the end of the season (essentially by leaving them alone) to uprooting invasives and landscaping with meadows. We look forward to the day when our town is full of native plant gardens and when pollinator corridors throughout our region are strengthened and provide corridors for birds, bees, butterflies, moths and other pollinators.

Black Rock Yacht Club Pollinator Garden Members of Black Rock Yacht Club including our Juniors have been working on establishing a pollinator garden starting in 2020 with the guidance of the Environmental Committee. With the help of donations of native plants from local gardeners as well as seedlings started by our Junior members the garden has more than 30 varieties of native plants that support pollinators and act as host plants for a variety of native butterflies and moths. It acts as an education for members in promoting native plants and the importance of avoiding pesticides. The hope is to expand the area in the club every year Blue Star Garden, St. Mary's by the Sea, Black Rock The Blue Star Garden, a native pollinator garden on the shores of Ash Creek, where it meets Long Island Sound, was established by the Black Rock Garden Club, to honor service members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Fairfield Avenue Pollinator Planters Black Rock Pollinator Partners teamed up with the Business Owners of Black Rock to set up pollinator planters in front of the restaurants and store fronts along several blocks of Fairfield Avenue. Our goals were beautification of the business district as well as the promotion of public awareness about the importance of pollinators. We were happily surprised by the number of pollinators that were actually attracted to our zinnias, lantana, black-eyed Susans, lobelia and verbena along the Avenue. We chose annuals for their long bloom time. Our efforts were supported by the business owners, Black Rock Compost Company, and several other donors. Black Rock Home Gardens Members of Black Rock Pollinator Partners have been adding native plants for pollinators and birds to their yards. More and more of our lawns are being replaced by native gardens, meadows and habitats. The native "meadow" along both sides of the fence includes ironweed, mountain mint, sneezeweed, beardtongue, milkweed, goldenrod and monarda. A brand new wildlife habitat (not pictured) contains witch hazel, winterberry, serviceberry, elderberry, chokeberry, ninebark, foam flower, monarda, asclepius, amsomia, meadow rue and more.
