Submitted by the Franklin Township Environmental Commission.
In 2022 the Franklin Township Environmental Commission initiated an early Spring alternative lawn care project that would improve the population of pollinators in Franklin and engage the public to participate and have fun. Pollinator is a collective term for insects, such as bees, that are a critical component of our environment and agriculture, carrying pollen from flower to flower so that flowers turn into seeds and fruits.
When pollinators wake up from their winter hibernation, they need good foraging resources to grow, reproduce and pollinate. Our lawns – if they contain beneficial flowers – are an ideal source of nectar. The pollinator population is declining due to various human activities including loss of habitat and neonicotinoid pesticides.
