Weston Pollinator Pathway
Initially inspired by the Wilton Garden Club and the NRWA, and then further inspired by the leading efforts of Aspetuck Land Trust (ALT) and the Hudson to Housatonic Regional Conservation Partnership (H2H) which seeks to preserve large tracts of land between the Hudson and Housatonic Rivers in New York and Connecticut, the town of Weston is proud to participate in the Pollinator Pathway.
Lachat Town Farm, The Weston Garden Club and Sustainable Weston, have joined forces to present a series of events, dedicated to learning how to co-exist in our country town. Weston has an abundance of natural resources, and this is a timely reminder of how to become better stewards of our land.
Weston plays a pivotal role in the Pollinator Pathway / Green Corridor. We connect to many towns; Wilton, Westport, Fairfield, Easton, and Redding. We have two major waterways running through our town, and we have an abundance of preserves and woods. Together, we can create a diverse ecosystem in our backyard that will connect pollinator-friendly properties and towns.
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.
