About

Public and private pesticide-free corridors of native plants that provide nutrition and habitat for pollinating insects and birds. Even the smallest green spaces, like flower boxes and curb strips, can be part of a pathway. These pathways creates connections between private and public properties which become corridors of healthy habitat for pollinators, wildlife and human life that depend on them!

Pollinators are very limited on how far they can travel. Most native bees have a range of only 750 meters. The goal is to connect properties that are no farther apart than that. As a general rule of thumb, flower strips and nesting sites for supporting small solitary bees should be no more than 150 meters apart (Hofmann et al, 2020).
