Thanks to a grant from the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions, and in cooperation with the New Jersey Audubon Society and Mercer County Parks Commission, the Hamilton Township Environmental Commission and Green Team are launching Pollinator-Friendly Hamilton. Pollinators, especially bees, butterflies and birds, are vital agents of the human food supply. Without pollinators, the survival of many of the crops essential to HUMAN survival would be in peril. And, today, due to loss of habitat from human activity, overuse of pesticides and other chemicals deadly to pollinators, increasingly frequent extreme weather events, and climate IN-action, pollinators are in peril. Over the next several months we will be offering: 1. Educational presentations for ALL ages, about the importance of pollinators, the dangers they face, and how we can all help restore their populations to sustainable health. 2. Opportunities for residents of all ages to volunteer in creating pollinator-friendly habitats, in our public spaces, in our wild spaces, and on our own properties. 3. Discounts through our local merchants for pollinator-friendly garden kits, seedlings, seeds, and supplies. Pollinator-Friendly Hamilton will be a more sustainable, more vibrant, more beautiful Hamilton than ever before.
