The Friends of Mashpee has been involved in creating pollinator gardens in the Refuge since 2011. They have created 5 pollinator-friendly gardens in 2013. These gardens have many flowering plants that bloom from early spring to late fall, providing nectar & pollen that is very important to these beneficial insects. Every year they add more plant species to these gardens. I've worked to help plant many native plants with this group and to see the gardens blooming with so many colors and attracting so many insects, birds and butterflies that gets better with each passing year..such a delight to witness and know that I helped provide more habitat and food for our Cape Cod wildlife. In 2017 they expanded their pollinator mission to create 5 acres of pollinator fields with two other refuge partners and included an education component that eventually involved having 980 kids create their own school pollinator gardens. This group is both resourceful in getting grants for pollinator gardens and highly collaborative in their work to include many volunteers, numerous refuge partners. They continuously bring more awareness to the public about the issues of pollination; all part of their mission and advocacy work for the Mashpee Refuge conservation area.
