The mission of the Grow Native for Pollinators Campaign is to raise awareness about the significance of pollinators and promote the protection and creation of healthy pollinator habitats through the use of native plantings.

To promote this mission, the Campaign activities will:

• Educate community members on the importance of pollinators and native plants
• Demonstrate how to create a pollinator garden
• Provide opportunities for community members to receive starter plants
• Set an example by incorporating native plants on town-owned properties
• Encourage new and existing businesses to include native plants on their sites
