Nurturing local pollinators

In late 2021, we were approached by the Conservation Commission of Newburyport to partner with them to convert the Colby Farm Lane hayfield into a native plant pollinator meadow.

The Pollinator Toolkit designed to help individuals and municipalities create thriving pollinator gardens and meadows.

Currently working on a new garden on the rail trail in collaboration with the City of Newburyport and augmenting the rail trail butterfly garden.

Education has been a cornerstone of PPW’s work since its founding. The group runs an internship program at Newburyport High School, allowing students to earn school credit while gaining hands-on experience in conservation.

We created our roadmap and toolkit starting in the fall of 2021, met with local gardeners, planned 10 gardens, ordered native seedlings, and got 3,000 square feet of native gardens planted.
