Mission

Pollinator Pathway, Inc.'s mission is to inspire, educate, and support local communities taking the initiative to make positive change by restoring and connecting habitat for pollinators. We promote education and awareness about proper land care, avoidance of harmful pesticides and use of native plants across a network of connected parks, preserves and private property.

Program accomplishments

  • Pollinator Pathway, Inc. is organized to provide support to local Pollinator Pathway Projects at the local level and is now established in over three hundred and seventy-five cities, towns and villages across forty states and Canada. A key part of this program is creating connections among local pollinator pathway programs, thereby increasing education and awareness about the importance of native plants and not using pesticides. A key part of this programmatic effort is the distribution of Pollinator Pathway signs, which we encourage communities to post. These signs both educate and signify that native plants supporting local pollinators are being intentionally grown and that the property is pesticide free and direct individuals to the Pollinator Pathway, Inc. website for further information. To date, this program has resulted in signs having been placed on over 10,000 public and private properties across the US and Canada. In addition, we create tool kits and materials that local groups can use to support their work.

Our iNaturalist Pollinator Pathway Project has over 50,000 sightings for Citizens Science data collection purposes. We also offer webinars and in-person speaking engagement about the importance of protecting pollinators and biodiversity.
