Welcome to the Brookfield Pollinator Pathway If you're interested in joining the pathway please sign up! Join the Pollinator Pathway Pollinators fertilize the plants in our yards and parks but also on our farms and orchards. The Pollinator Pathway project is an effort by volunteers from municipal and private conservation organizations, garden clubs, and interested citizens working together to establish pollinator-friendly habitat and food sources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating insects and wildlife along a series of continuous corridors. Most native bees have a range of about a half-mile, so the goal is to connect properties that are no farther apart than that. This project began in 2017 in Wilton. Since then, pathways have been established in over 27 towns in CT and NY and the list keeps growing! Join the effort - protect our future!

Marilyn < Back 426 Fallriver Dr I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy. I live in a suburban neighborhood so I created landscaped Ohio native plants/pollinator plant beds around the perimeter of the back yard and incorporated native plants in a landscaped bed in the front yard. We are having a drought so the photos are not of the gardens at their best. Front: Serviceberry shrub, Serviceberry tree, 3-Blue False Indigo, 3-Yellow False Indigo, Yellow Wood Poppies, and Ohio native Hydrangea incorporated with hostas and ferns--work in progress, deer rutted the tree so a new one planted this fall (not in photo). Back: Native Ohio/ pollinator plants for spring, summer, and fall; Monarch Way Station with Swamp & other milkweeds plus Bronze Fennel for the Swallowtails. St. John's Wort shrubs, Spicebush, and Pipeline.
