Pollinator Pathway
Tetons
Welcome to the Pollinator Pathway of the Tetons
"The Pollinator Pathway project is organized by volunteers from town conservation organizations working together to establish pollinator-friendly habitat and food sources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating insects and wildlife along a series of continuous corridors".
Mission statement for the Pollinator Pathway of the Tetons:
The Pollinator Pathway of the Tetons aims to weave together a network of pollinator-friendly green spaces throughout the town and surrounding areas, acting as "stepping stones" between larger habitat patches. This benefits not only the pollinators but also the overall health and biodiversity of the ecosystem, including the larger animals like deer and elk that rely on healthy native plant populations.
To create and connect pollinator-friendly habitats within the community, encouraging a corridor of native plants and pesticide-free spaces. This helps support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other vital pollinators.
To educate residents about the importance of pollinators and how to support them through native plant gardening and responsible land use practices. This includes promoting the use of native plants, avoiding pesticides, and protecting nesting areas.
To inspire and empower community members to participate in pollinator habitat creation, fostering a network of committed individuals and organizations.
