Pollinator Pathway Royal Oak Buy a sign The City of Royal Oak, Michigan is part of the Great Lakes Region and Detroit metropolitan area. Royal Oak is situated on ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabeg – The Three Fire Confederacy of the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. Royal Oak is in the Eastern Temperate Forest of North America (EPA Ecoregions of North America). Royal Oak has several features directly supporting its Pollinator Pathway as well as residents who devote all or a portion of their home garden to a pollinator pathway. You can join the Pollinator Pathway!!! For Royal Oak residents, businesses, and organizations that have established a non-toxic, native plant garden to support pollinators, please take a moment to register on Pollinator-Pathway.org so your location shows up. The mix of locations with pesticide-free, native plantings include two nature preserves managed by community volunteers, pollinator plantings at the Detroit Zoo, residents' gardens, a community garden, middle school garden, and native plantings in public parks. Some highlights of RO native plant gardens creating a local pollinator pathway include: The Royal Oak Middle School has a native plant pollinator garden and garden art prepared and installed by the National Junior Art Honor Society. (Established Spring 2023) The RO Community Garden managed by the RO Garden Club, includes a native plant pollinator garden around its perimeter as well as an herb garden. (Established 2022) In 2021, Royal Oak passed its first Sustainability & Climate Action Plan, which includes increasing the use of native plants in city owned as well as encouraging their use in private properties. The Detroit Zoological Society, with its main Zoo located in Royal Oak, includes a native plant butterfly garden and a native plant, tree, and species pond area as well as some community supported native plantings on their grounds. Royal Oak is a city of parks and gardens with more than 310 acres devoted to 51 parks including two pristine, natural reserves (Cummingston Park and Tehave Woods). The Royal Oak Nature Society, a volunteer group, stewards the nature reserves as well as the Fred A. Erb Arboretum that includes native plants and trees not found in Tenhave and Cummingston. ​ Fred A. Erb Arboretum The Fred A. Erb Arboretum is a 4 1/2 acre park located around three sides of the City of Royal Oak Senior Center. The Arboretum provides visitors a window to the many varieties of native species, plants, shrubs, and trees, that can be enjoyed throughout the year. When visiting, please enjoy your walk through the arboretum and hopefully learn or see something interesting in each plant community! The arboretum, managed by the all volunteer Royal Oak Nature Society, adds to their ability to teach about the area’s Great Lakes ecosystems, and encourage residents to use environmental beneficial native plants around their homes. The development of the arboretum began in 2007. The long-range plan for the arboretum is to create a collection of native trees/plants that are not found in nearby Tenhave Woods. In 2008, The Royal Oak Nature Society began restoring the native plant community in what is now known as the Fred A. Erb Arboretum. The Nature Society’s early efforts in the arboretum focused on identifying and preserving native trees and shrubs and removing invasive species by the Nature Society with support from Eagle Scout Project work crews and various conservation/community groups. Today, there are fields of native flowers as well as shrubs and trees. In 2023, the Era Family Foundation donated funds to plant an additional 100 trees native to the ecological region. The Royal Oak Nature Society will manage the tree planting, which will be done over two years with the support of volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please email naturesociety@romi.gov or call 248-246-3380 & leave a message.

Tenhave Woods is open to the public from dusk to dawn daily. Because it is a preserve for pollinators, animals, trees, and plants, visitors are kindly requested to not bring pets into the preserve. Located near the high school and senior center, Tenhave Woods was named in 1999 after Hessel Tenhave, a high school biology teacher who taught in Royal Oak for 34 years and often utilized the woods to impress the importance and beauty of the environment on his students. Walter Nickel, former naturalist for Cranbrook institutions, said, “This is one of the finest acreages of hard woods that I have ever seen in this area.” For pollinators, Tenhave Woods has extensive blooming early spring native flowering plants among many others.

< Back 169 Bowne Road We have been removing invasive plants organically since 2010 and either editing native regeneration, dividing & planting existing natives, and planting new natives of local ecotype when possible. Our property consists of 95% native plants, mostly indigenous, and growing. A large portion of the remaining 5% is food we grow, which is not native but also not invasive. Previous Next

West Haven Pollinator Pathway Join the West Haven Pathway To learn more reach out to David Carr: earthlobbyist@yahoo.com 203-877 2704 extension 400826. ​ or Follow us on Facebook @pollinatorpathway06516 PRESS RELEASE - In September 2020 installed 624 perennial pollinator plants (Wild Bergamot, Short Toothed Mountain Mint, Mountain Mint, Sweet Goldenrod, White Yarrow, Butterfly Weed, Eastern Bluestar/Blue Ice, Purple Lovegrass, Little Bluestem Prairie Grass and NY Ironweed/Vernonia ) in 8 locations, with quantities of 222, 48, 10, 36, 192, 20,70 & 24 plants all in West Haven, CT public space. We had 35 Donors (5 anonymous) contribute between $20 and $100 each. Some Pollinator Pathway signs sales contributed $40. We spent $40 (signs) & $1363 (plants) of the $2685 grant and owe $100 for the remaining unsold signs. ​ As Lead Organizer, I used managed facebook and press releases to communicate with the community via (with 261-page likes) and . I/Mr. Carr used IO groups to provide transparent communication with the group and Volunteer Signup to plan the installation. Funds are held in trust by 501c3 Threshold Associates. The project was successful in that we have reserved about $1180 for Spring 2021 which was not used due to the lack of people to help install plants and lack of sites. We had a publicly advertised plant distribution event that was restricted due to social distancing which lacked of food, beverages, and entertainment. ​ We were unable to have a public education event although lots of pictures and videos were posted on the web pages. By 2021 we plan to seek approval from two libraries and the West Haven Public Schools to create gardens that will serve as pollinator education centers, possibly mirroring the work done by other schools to teach children and parents about pollinator management. We will have a new fundraiser and community awareness events, Opportunity will be available to donate money which will create memorial gardens and holiday gifts to create new steps on our Pollinator Pathway. Potential events will include native plant selection, site preparation, and ecosystem education. Our stated October 2020 goal, was, and remains, to identify new sites then prepare the areas using cardboard covered with wood chips as a means of teaching people the value of site preparation and propagation of hardy native pollinators, compared to the installation of cosmetic annuals. This process takes 6 months so now is the time to begin Another expansion of the project will be direct seeding to support buying plugs as it seems we can seed 60,000 square feet for around $1200 (estimates from $900-1500 for 50 lbs seed). We will continue to seek sponsors and knowledge to support this. Possible sites include the Helm Street Hills aka Old 06516 Incinerator. ​ Everybody who helped brought something to the project for which I and West Haven am grateful. My experience increased my working knowledge of plant species, site preparation, installation practices, and shopping for products while improving my communication and management skills. My previous gardening experience includes tomatoes, basil, pumpkins, houseplants, and chili peppers. You may reach me directly at 203-877-27024 extension 400826 which transfers directly, or other means. Thank you all for your participation. Make today what you imagined.

Pollinator Pathway Forest Hills, Queens Buy a sign Honestly, my pathway is very much at the beginning. I wrote to the New York City Parks and Recreation for permission to plant in an empty sidewalk bed near my house, and I did over the summer but someone ripped the flowers out. I'm hoping to get something more started again, and it would be really great if I could get others involved in my area. Sidewalk Bed Forest Hills, Queens, NY I've started planting in empty tree beds near my house. The first flower I planted didn't meet with much success because some inconsiderate people pulled it out. Yet, without a yard, the sidewalk plots are what we have to try to help the bees. I've written to the New York City Parks department, and they said it's fine to plant in them. As long as there is no work order to plant in the plot, the NYC Parks department won't bother them. Join The Pollinator Pathway ​ ​ ​ ​ planethomelbj@gmail.com
