Pollinator Pathway Ridgefield Buy a sign The Ridgefield Pollinator Pathway is a collaboration of Caudatowa Garden Club, Norwalk River Watershed Association, RACE, Ridgefield Conservation Commission, Ridgefield Garden Club, Ridgefield Parks and Recreation, Ridgefield Public Library, Woodcock Nature Center, and with the support of the Land Conservancy of Ridgefield, Norwalk River Valley Trail, Hudson-to-Housatonic Partnership, Highstead Foundation, and the community of Ridgefield. Our goal is to create a corridor of contiguous pollinator-friendly properties including the open spaces in Ridgefield and the adjacent private ones belonging to residents. Everyone in Ridgefield should consider taking part in the Pollinator Pathway project since the bees and butterflies don’t recognize the signs and only look for the nectar! We want to thank the following organizations for participating: Keeler Tavern, Jesse Lee Methodist Church, The Aldrich Museum, The Hickories, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Casagmo, ACT of CT, Nod Hill Brewery, Ridgefield High School, Scotland, Farmingville and Barlow Mountain elementary schools.

Pollinator Pathway Mansfield Buy a sign 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!

Pollinator Pathway Andover Buy a sign Our mission is to promote native plantings and healthy habitats for pollinators throughout our community. Each of us can make a difference, starting right in our own yards. Joining the Andover Pollinator Pathway is easy—you can put your garden on the map by doing the following five things: • Plant native plants, including trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowers. • Reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides in favor of safer alternatives. • Control invasive plants • Reduce lawn size in favor of native plantings • Leave leaves in the landscape in the fall By doing so, we will improve the connections between the many natural spaces in town, creating a robust ecosystem with a greater diversity of native species. We invite your interest and involvement. Please explore the Andover Pollinator Pathway website for planting ideas, techniques that help pollinators survive the winter and thrive, and insight into why “growing organic” can benefit the whole community.

Pollinator Pathway Garden at Andover High School 80 Shawsheen Rd, Andover, MA 01810 Welcome to the Pollinator Pathway garden project at Andover High School! This garden was created by interns Isabelle Galgano and Grace Jungmann with mentor Mindy Chave. The project is for Ms. Cutler’s Environmental Sustainability Internship Course. . This garden was installed to create native habitat for pollinators including butterflies, bees, moths, and birds. The interns have built a raised garden bed on the traffic island outside the Collins Center and installed native plants as advised by Walter Kitteridge. The plants were purchased from Walter’s native plant nursery called Oakhaven Sanctuary. The native plants used include Spotted Bee Balm, Wild Bergamot, Purple Coneflower, Mountain Mint, Golden Alexanders, Joe Pye Weed, Goldenrod, Frost Aster, Toothed Flat Topped White Aster, New England Aster, Hellebores, Button Eryngo, and Dwarf Chinkapin Oak. The compost/loam mix was provided free by the town of Andover, and the Andover Garden Club kindly covered the cost of purchase of the raised bed kits, which were sourced from Home Depot. The Garden Club also covered the cost of the plants. The AHS garden is the first public garden to be added to the Andover Pollinator Pathway. Congratulations to our interns for inspiring the community to join us in creating pollinator-friendly landscapes. Let’s get all of our neighbors on board to build a robust pollinator pathway through Andover! If your garden meets our Pollinator Pathway criteria please join using this link: JOIN THE POLLINATOR PATHWAY We encourage you to list your native garden on the Google map so we can see how we are growing pathways for pollinators around town!

Pollinator Pathway Huntington Buy a sign The Town of Huntington is located in northwestern Suffolk County, New York, bordering Long Island Sound on its north end, along with numerous bays and harbors. The Township of Huntington includes four incorporated Villages (Northport, Asharoken, Lloyd Harbor, and Huntington Bay) and several prominent unincorporated hamlets (Cold Spring Harbor, Elwood, Huntington, Huntington Station, South Huntington, Melville, East Northport, Halesite, Dix Hills, Centerport, Greenlawn, and Fort Salonga). The Huntington Pollinator Pathway Project is part of a larger initiative of the Suffolk Alliance for Pollinators (SAP). SAP is a coalition of local groups making Suffolk County a greener pollinator corridor through good gardening practices. The SAP goal is to amplify the efforts of many groups helping residents, towns and communities become part of the growing regional initiative led by the Pollinator Pathway. JOIN US! You can be part of the Pollinator Pathway Town of Huntington. Simply: ADD a few more natives--trees, shrubs, and flowers that are adapted to local conditions are the best food sources for native pollinators and often require less water. Information on New York/Long Island natives can be found on Cornell Cooperative Extension | Pollinator Support (ccesuffolk.org). ADD your Garden to the Pollinator Pathway Map •REDUCE the size of your lawn and mow less often. AVOID chemical fertilizers and pesticides -- they’re not healthy for pollinators or anyone else. LEAVE the leaves -- go easy on the fall clean-up of beds and borders since many pollinators over winter in leaf matter. Gateway Community Garden Gateway Park, Lowndes Ave, Huntington Station, 11746 Gateway Park Community Garden is on the ground of Gateway Park in the Village of Huntington and was created in 2016 as an Earth Day project donated and installed by National Grid volunteers, Town of Huntington personnel, and Garden volunteers. The initial plantings included native grasses, mountain mint and iron weed, chokeberry. Common milkweed popped up in the garden that year as well courtesy of a neighbor who was growing some in a yard near the garden. Some wood asters moved in as well. A local group gave Gateway a small grant and it was used to purchase goldenrods, asters, Joe Pye Weed, hyssop leaved mountain mint and flat topped goldenrod from LINPI. At the south end of the garden there is a wonderful Black Oak (Quercus velutina) and a Prunus serontina. Squirrels are planting black walnut trees (Juglan nigra) all over the garden. There is at least one Northern Catalpa in the park. In 2019 in another Earth Day project, PSEG donated and planted a number of Oaks, one or two Liriodendrons (Tulip Trees) and an Amelanchier (Service Berry) on the Teich House museum property which is part of Gateway Park. Scudder Park Native Garden 99 Ketchum Pl, Northport, NY 11768 The Scudder Park Native Garden was established to beautify a corner of Scudder Park in Northport. The garden was designed, planted, and is maintained by Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteers in cooperation with the Village of Northport Parks Department. Perennial, drought tolerant plants were selected based on the site’s condition, which is dry, sandy, sunny, and windy. The plants are also salt tolerant, which is important as this area suffered major flooding in 2012 due to Hurricane Sandy. Many of the plants are native to the area and once established require minimal care. These plants provide nesting sites and nectar for bees, butterflies and other insects and help sustain beneficial pollinators. Included are Northern Bayberry, Red Bud Tree, Switchgrass, Little Blue Stem, Indian Grass, Yarrow, Common Milkweed, Butterfly Weed, different types of asters and goldenrods, and many more. Many of the plants were purchased from Long Island Native Plant Initiative and funded with a generous donation from an anonymous donor. Greenlawn Train Station Native Garden 34 Boulevard Avenue, Greenlawn, NY 11740 In the summer of 2017, Greenlawn Civic Association and Long Island Native Plant Initiative (LINPI) worked with the Town of Huntington to transform an 850 square foot strip of overgrown junipers full of litter into a native garden, our hamlet's "High Line". With dogwood trees, shrubs such as chokeberry and blueberry, and 400 perennials including butterfly weed, bluestem grasses, baptisia australis (false blue indigo), chelone glabra (turtlehead) , monarda fistulosa (wild bergamot) and solidago speciosa (showy goldenrod) there is four season interest and wildlife activity for pedestrians and commuters to enjoy. In 2023, an environmental sign was installed by Nelson Pope listing the plants and the pollinators they attract. Volunteers from the Greenlawn Civic (greenlawncivic.org) and Centerport Garden Club (centerportgardenclub.org) help maintain it through the year.
