Greenfield’s Pollinator Gardens form part of Franklin County’s Pollinator Corridor

Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) is spear-heading a Regional Pollinator Plan to develop a Pollinator Corridor through Greenfield and neighboring towns. Read about the plan here.

Make your yard part of the Pollinator Corridor!

Here’s how:

- - - - Provide a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowering plants.
      - Choose native plants to support both pollinators and birds. (Research suggests that having 70% North American native plants in your garden supports a thriving ecosystem.)
      - Skip the chemicals – pesticides, herbicides, and even chemical fertilizers.
      - Use nature’s fertilizer – fallen leaves and twigs help the soil while providing cover for many pollinators.
      - Provide water (such as a birdbath) for birds and insects.
