Downtown Beaverton Pollinator Pathway 

Supporting Local Pollinators & Enhancing Downtown Greenspaces

Beaverton’s downtown is buzzing with new life—literally! The Pollinator Pathway Project is a community-driven initiative dedicated to supporting our essential pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, by creating a network of pollinator-friendly greenspaces throughout downtown.

Why Pollinators Matter

Pollinators play a vital role in our ecosystem, ensuring the growth of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. However, habitat loss and pesticide use threaten their survival. By providing connected, pesticide-free green spaces filled with native plants, we can help these crucial species thrive while also making our city more beautiful and sustainable.

Our Goal

The Pollinator Pathway Project connects existing downtown greenspaces with vibrant, pollinator-friendly plantings. Our mission is to:
Increase access to food sources for pollinators.
Enhance downtown greenspaces with native plants.
Educate the community about pollinators and how to support them.
Encourage residents and businesses to plant pollinator-friendly species and reduce pesticide use.

How It Works

Planting Native, Pollinator-Friendly Plants

We are introducing a variety of native flowers and shrubs in key locations to support pollinators year-round.

Educational Outreach

Each participating property will receive a Pollinator Pathway sign, identifying it as part of the initiative. Businesses and residents who complete our educational program may also receive an interpretive sign that explains the importance of pollinators and how to protect them.

Community Participation

Everyone is welcome to join! Whether you’re a homeowner, business, or local organization, you can contribute by planting pollinator-friendly plants and avoiding harmful pesticides.
