Pollinator Pathway
White Plains
White Plains Beautification Foundation (wpbf.org) supports and promotes Pollinator Pathways in our 70+ public gardens and in our own backyards in the county seat of Westchester County, NY. We reach out to local organizations, businesses, homeowners and residents to help us reverse the looming environmental threat faced by the loss of pollinators. Ultimately, corridors of pesticide-free native plants will attract pollinators-the bees, butterflies, birds, bats and more-and guide them from property to property in the City of White Plains through a healthful environment and then from town to town across our region from the Hudson to the Housatonic.
Pollinators of White Plains
Our mission: To educate White Plains' residents, the business community and other organizations about healthy yards and pollinator habitats and to encourage all to participate.
