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.
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.
Have a skill you can share with the Pollinator Pathway?
