Pollinator Path
program set
The Woodstock Conservation Commission will present, online, a new initiative, the Pollinator Pathway Program, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. April 23 via a Zoom meeting. It’s limited to the first 100 people who register.
To register for this program, send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please include what town you live in in the email. You will be sent the login information closer to the meeting. The program will be recorded and posted to the Woodstock Conservation Commission website www.WoodstockConservation.org if you can’t tune in on the date of the presentation.
The goal of the Pollinator Pathway is establishing pollinator-friendly habitats and food sources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating insects and wildlife.
From this presentation, you will learn about the importance of including native flowering plants in your landscape and how that will benefit many types of native pollinator organisms. You will learn about things we commonly do that actually harm our native pollinators, and what is recommended to replace those lawn care ideas. This will both beautify your yard and improve the natural environment we live in. Finally, we will be asking people to voluntarily sign a simple pledge to use pollinator friendly landscape management practices. We will then be able to plot your address on a simple Google map, because a pathway is not made from a single point, but a series of points close together.
Who should sign up for this workshop? Residential property owners, public garden managers and landscapers. Registration is not restricted to Woodstock residents because pollinators do not recognize political boundaries.
