About Pollinator Pathway Northwest
Pollinator Pathway Northwest is a project that started with the planting of a demonstration pollinator garden at 21 Acres, a center for sustainable education and collective action.
As we learned more about the current plight of the pollinators, we were inspired by Pollinator Pathway, a national organization based in the Eastern U.S. that had spread its message and influence across the United States.
We set our sights on mobilizing the Pacific Northwest community to provide critical pollinator habitat. We began to envision a corridor of pollinator friendly plantings across the Pacific Northwest. As the range of most native bees is 750 meters (about 1/2 mile), the goal is to connect properties no farther apart than that.

The mission of Pollinator Pathway NW is to support local agriculture and home gardeners by promoting the importance of pollinator health. Our goal is to bring our enthusiasm and knowledge to a community willing to help create plentiful and healthy habitats for our pollinators.
Founding partners include 21 Acres, Sammamish Valley Alliance, the Sammamish Valley Grange and Coastal Community Bank. Additional support is provided by the Woodinville Garden Club, Rent Mason Bees and Vanderloop Communications.
