Pollinator Pathway
Join the North Salem Pollinator Pathway
We're connecting native plants, people, and pollinators—one yard at a time.
The North Salem Pollinator Pathway is a community-powered initiative led by the North Salem Open Land Foundation (NSOLF) in partnership with local towns that share a love for our land and wildlife. Across North Salem, we're building a network of healthy habitats to attract birds, bees and beneficial insects to support our essential food chains. We help link up private yards, public spaces, and preserved lands with one shared mission: To support native plants and the pollinators that depend on them.
As development, pesticides and invasive plants destabilize our environment, we encourage and guide you to plant native species and reduce harmful practices, while creating a corridor of life that supports beauty, biodiversity and keeps our landscapes vibrant and resilient.
How You Can Join the Pathway
Anyone can take part—whether you have a window box, a backyard garden, or acres of open land.

- Planting native species that bloom from spring through fall
- Avoiding pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers
- Providing fresh water—like a bird bath or fountain
