Pollinator Pathway
Barrington
Bees, birds, and other pollinators are declining in alarming numbers all over the world.
Suburban lawns, with their non-native grasses and ornamental plants which are maintained using chemical pesticides and fertilizers, are a virtual desert for pollinators.
The Barrington Pollinator Pathway project was started to encourage people to plant native trees, shrubs, and flowers in their yards and to forego the use of pesticides. It doesn't matter how small your garden is - every native tree, shrub, and flower helps!
If you live in Barrington, we hope you'll join us and be part of the Barrington Pollinator Pathway. Our goal is to have as many pollinator friendly yards and public spaces as we can.
Participate
Add native pollinator plants, shrubs or trees to your property, whether yard, garden, patio or balcony. Help to eliminate widespread application of pesticides and fertilizers. Spread the word by educating friends and neighbors.
Volunteer
Help spread awareness at farmers markets and public events, create, water and maintain public pollinator gardens and help manage invasive species in public parks. Motivate your organization’s members to help protect pollinators.
