Creating naturalized pollinator meadows on park managed lands.
What are pollinator meadows?
Pollinator meadows are intentionally naturally managed areas in designated parks and on park-managed golf courses and boulevards.
The meadows will produce a variety of blooms from common dandelions to native lupines to attract pollinator bees, butterflies, and birds and will be open for park users to explore and enjoy.
Bees, birds, and butterflies
Pollinator meadows have multiple benefits, including:
- Improved habitat for beneficial species including bees, birds, and butterflies
- Cooler moist soil for trees
- Exciting areas for park-users to explore
- Less carbon emissions during maintenance
When meadows bloom
The meadows grasses and flowers will grow longer in late spring and throughout the summer. The blooms will change through the seasons, and the areas will be maintained regularly.
