Pollinator-Friendly Hamilton will be recommending presentations and other materials about pollinators and pollinator-friendly habitats that we think you’ll find both interesting and entertaining. Please email us at mayor@hamiltonnj.com to let us know what you think! Your feedback will help us pick future materials and help guide the direction of Pollinator-Friendly Hamilton. Help spread the word by sharing on your personal page. Our second recommendation is Pollinator Conservation 101. Take this deep dive into the different kinds of pollinators, the roles they play in our ecosystem, the threats they face, and how habitats based on native plants can help them thrive.

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.
