Poulsbo board plans Arbor Day, Earth Day and a pollinator-corridor pilot with $5,000 seed funding
Summary
Board outlined Earth Day and Arbor Day programming and discussed launching a pollinator-corridor initiative seeded with $5,000 from the city budget to support plantings, education and partnerships with local nurseries and volunteers.
Rachel said the board should use Earth Day (April 19 at Fish Park) and Arbor Day events to increase public engagement and seed a new pollinator-corridor initiative. "We have a small $5,000 year mark that was guaranteed in the budget," she said, describing the amount the city set aside as seed money to support early plantings and education.
Members proposed a pollinator task force to coordinate trees, shrubs and native plantings and discussed partnering with the Garden Club, Master Gardeners and local nurseries for in‑kind donations. The board agreed this funding could be used to pilot corridors and demonstration plantings, but that specifics — site selection, long-term maintenance and matching funds — would be fleshed out at future meetings.
