Pollinator Pathway
Woodbury CT
The Woodbury Pollinator Pathway Initiative made its debut with the planting of its first native pollinator plant "Alex" (Golden Alexander) in the town's George Washington Green on April 25, 2025. This initiative has recently secured two generous grants, one from the Woodbury Junior Women's Club and another from the Federated Garden Club of Connecticut. These funds will support the purchase of 73 native plants, which will be planted across town gardens and parks in the fall of 2025.
By strategically planting along Main Street, at town offices, and installing "Pollinator Pathway" signage, the goal is to raise awareness within the community and encourage the use of native, pesticide-free plants in home and business gardens throughout the town. This effort will create environments where pollinators can thrive and, in turn, will benefit both local farms and private gardens, and support biodiversity one garden at a time.
