Meet the Pollinators

Pollinators are animals that move pollen from one flower to another. This allows the fertilization and reproduction of plants and many plants rely on pollinators for this process. Their populations are at risk due to loss of habitat and the use of harmful insecticides. Hudson Crossing Park is planting native plants to replicate their natural habitat and support these beneficial species. Look for these pollinators next time you visit the park and check out the list of native plants you can add to your own garden to support these species.
