Introducing: Parkways for Pollinators

4/6/2022

0 Comments

 
EEC's new Parkways for Pollinators program seeks to transform public spaces into pollinator forage and habitat, working to remediate the soil and capture carbon.

With seeds sourced from the community, growing resources provided by Loyola's Urban Agriculture Program, and distribution through EEC, we are pleased to offer native plant seedlings for our registered Parkways for Pollinators sites.

Sign Up Here!

EEC provides resources including education, designs, planting supplies and materials, and native plant seedlings to registered sites.

To be notified of native plant distributions and/or register a site, fill out the short form here.
