At 6:00 PM on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, the Dalton Conservation Commission will host a UNH Speaker Bureau Presentation, “Growing A Pollinator Garden”, presented by Master Gardener Bill Weeks.  Insects such as bees and butterflies are helpful, and in some cases, essential, in pollinating many of our food crops, such as apples, berries, and vegetables.  In recent years, there has been a significant decline in the populations of these wild pollinators.  Planting patches of flowers, wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and flowering trees, with an emphasis on the use of native plants, can encourage and support natural pollinators, as well as enhance backyard landscapes.  Recommendations will be presented on creating a pollinator habitat in your yard.

The public is encouraged to attend this free event at the Town of Dalton Municipal Building, 756 Dalton Road, in Dalton, NH.
