Northside Pollinator Project
The Northside Pollinator Project aims to replace conventional grass lawns with gardens that will add beauty to the community, clean our water, and protect our bees and butterflies. All residents of the Harrison, Jordan, and Willard-Hay neighborhoods are eligible to participate in this project – INCLUDING RENTERS! Project participants will receive a FREE 75 square foot garden by participating in this project.
Harrison, Jordan, and Willard-Hay are classified as environmental justice (EJ) neighborhoods, or areas that experience harmful environmental conditions but don’t have projects in place to address these issues. A focal point of this project will be on equitable engagement, where we are investing resources to recruit project participants that are representative of the area. If you would like to get involved in this project, please select the category that is most applicable to you for additional information.
Funding for this project is provided by the Lawns to Legumes program through the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission.
