Create Pollinator Corridors

This guide focuses on actions you can take in your neighborhood to encourage neighbors and communities to plant native trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals on their properties. 

We plan to update this document regularly, so please send us your feedback.  We hope to make this guide even more comprehensive in its coverage of the DC metro area. We realize we still have gaps in that regard.  So, if you have successfully worked with your local schools, neighborhood swimming pool, HOA, place of worship, etc., please send us stories of your successes and/or lessons learned.

Thanks to the members of our Working Group who compiled this guide:
