Glastonbury Pollinator Pathway
Email Tracy to find out more about this team’s activities.
Without pollinators we can’t feed ourselves. Groups all over Connecticut are working together to establish pollinator-friendly habitat and food sources for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating insects and wildlife along a series of continuous corridors. Most native bees have a range of about 750 meters, so the goal is to connect properties that are no farther apart than that. This project began in 2017 in Wilton, CT. Since then, pathways have been established in over 85 towns in CT and NY and the list keeps grow.
Follow the Pollinator Pathway on Facebook.

PROMOTING CIVIL DISCOURSE
TALK is concerned about the decline in the tone of civil discourse in local, state and national politics. It is one of the reasons for our formation as well as the choice of name for the organization. We have always sought to foster meaningful, civil dialog between persons of differing opinions.
If you have a chance to participate in an activity that promotes this end, please do so.
Many organizations are trying different ways of helping people come together. Look up:
