It’s pollinator week!

Please consider planting native plants that produce nectar and pollen as food sources for the wide range of native pollinators we have in Mashpee! Most people think bees are the only pollinators – but there are many including moths, butterflies and beetles!

The Troop 36 Mashpee Eagle Scouts just installed a native pollinator garden off Great Neck Road North next to the Mashpee Veterinary Clinic! Check it out to see an example of what kind of species these gardens have. We also have gardens at Jehu Pond, Pickerel Cove, Santuit Pond Preserve, the Community Gardens, and at Johns Pond.
