Jersey City Environmental Commission Grant for Pollinator Garden Installation
Public Welcome Family-Friendly Free Event Habitat Installation/Maintenance
NJ Gateway is proud to have collaborated with the JC Environmental Commission and the Native Plant Society of NJ - Hudson Chapter in designing a contest for the funding of a pollinator garden. The grant was awarded to the Pershing Field Garden Friends for the creation of a native pollinator garden in Pershing Field Park.
The grant award will support efforts to enhance biodiversity, support pollinator species, and promote sustainable green spaces in Jersey City.
On May 1l7th, while the garden was being planted by the Pershing Field Garden Friends, the New Jersey Gateway provided an educational and informational table at the site with handouts for the public. Native plant plugs were also given away for free.
The garden will serve as both a natural sanctuary and an educational resource for residents and visitors of all ages.
