Pollinator Pathway
Glen Ridge
Welcome to the Glen Ridge Pollinator Pathway! We are a part of the larger undertaking to create a corridor of adjacent properties—private residences and public spaces—that provide safe habitat for birds, bees, butterflies, and other insects.
Our goal is to make Glen Ridge one big pollinator pathway with abundant native, pesticide-free plants in private, commercial, and municipal spaces. By joining with neighboring Montclair and Bloomfield, as well as several other north Jersey towns, Glen Ridge is helping to support our pollinator numbers and, in turn, improve the quality of our town's air, water, and soil. Together, we can turn Glen Ridge into a biodiverse oasis.
