Somerville Pollinator Action Plan

Between 2023-2024, Mayor Ballantyne's Division of Public Space and Urban Forestry worked with a community advisory committee and Offshoots, Inc., to develop the Somerville Pollinator Action Plan.

Our primary goal: to create more habitat for pollinators. And our community can make a difference through big and small actions. If we act together, we can respond to local and global pollinator population decline. You too can support pollinators and wildlife if you rent or own your home, like to garden or don't.
