Poulsbo’s pollinator project expands with three pilot sites, student involvement
Summary
Commissioners reviewed pilot work under the P3 pollinator project—three sites planted last fall using mostly native species—highlighted student stewardship at Pearson and planned maintenance and site selection for expansion this year.
Commissioners reported progress on the P3 pollinator project, which planted three pilot sites last fall and focused on native, pollinator-friendly species. Staff said about 85 percent of the plants planted were native and described ongoing planning for maintenance and future site selection.
A staff member described the effort as community- and school-engaged: Pearson students designed art and raised funds via stickers to support the program, and staff said the project will look beyond a single season to a long-term, multi-site strategy. "We are going to build pollinator pathways throughout Greater Paulsville area," the staff member said, adding that maintenance and community awareness will be priorities as the program grows.
Commissioners were enthusiastic, noting the project offers education and habitat benefits and suggested tying it into longer-term master planning and volunteer recruitment for maintenance work.
