More About PPNH

Restoring habitat, one yard at a time, through community partnerships, education and engagement.

Pollinator Pathways New Hampshire is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to restoring native pollinator habitat across the state—one yard at a time. Through community partnerships, educational outreach, hands-on events, and local engagement, we empower individuals, neighborhoods, and organizations to create sustainable, connected habitats for pollinators. From seed swaps and workshops to school programs and conservation partnerships, we’re building a statewide movement to protect the pollinators that sustain our ecosystems.

By participating in habitat restoration “one yard at a time,” you directly support pollinators where it matters most—your own community. Small efforts add up to big change when connected across neighborhoods and towns.

Learn & Grow with a Supportive Community

From native plant education to hands-on workshops, seed swaps, and garden tours, you’ll gain practical knowledge and inspiration—while connecting with like-minded people who care about nature and sustainability.

Help Protect Biodiversity and Food Systems

Pollinators are essential to healthy ecosystems and our food supply. By joining, you’re contributing to the preservation of native species, supporting local wildlife, and helping ensure ecological balance for future generations.

You Can Help Pollinators in 6 Simple Ways

Don't Mow or Mow High

When it comes to your lawn, leave it long! Bugs nest and find protection in the natural growth of long grass and wildflowers.

Stop Using Chemicals

Everyone has at least one can or bottle of some kind of poison. Please consider throwing them away, find a natural alternative instead.

Plant Native Plants

The best food for local pollinators is local food. Don't forget to plant native plant food sources around your property.

Water Your Bugs

Especially in the heat of summer, place a bowl of water with rocks or a sponge outside, as a source of water for pollinators.

Use Yellow Light Bulbs

Attract less bugs, including pollinators, around doorways and porches. Swap traditional light bulbs with yellow bulbs.
