Pollinator Pathway Founder To Speak At Greenwich Library

Via Greenwich Conservation Commission

GREENWICH, CT — Pollinator Pathway founder Donna Merrill will speak Tuesday, March 4, at 7 p.m. at the Greenwich Library Black Box Theatre just in time to plan those spring gardens.

Merrill will offer valuable insights into the importance of pollinators, which goes beyond butterflies and bees, as well as the steps people can take to support their habitats. Additionally, the presentation will cover how the community can be a part of this vital movement to protect the planet's biodiversity.

The presentation is being co-presented by the Greenwich Conservation Commission and Greenwich Library.

Pollinator Pathway is a grassroots initiative dedicated to creating a connected network of pollinator-friendly habitats in urban and suburban areas. Merrill has worked to raise awareness about the importance of pollinators - such as bees, butterflies and other insects - in maintaining biodiversity and supporting healthy ecosystems.

Merrill has spearheaded numerous community engagement projects, educational programs and partnerships aimed at promoting sustainable gardening practices, habitat restoration and local environmental stewardship.

"She believes that even small, intentional actions - like planting a window box garden - can make a significant difference in supporting native pollinators and reversing the decline of these vital species," the Greenwich Conservation Commission said in a news release. "Donna's vision for a more sustainable future is rooted in collaboratio, and she continues to work with schools, community organizations, and municipalities to cultivate a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges facing pollinators and how inividuals can help make a positive impact."
