Creates "Pollinator Pathway" designation for municipalities.
This bill creates a voluntary "Pollinator Pathway" designation for New Jersey municipalities that meet specific habitat standards. To qualify, municipalities must establish pollinator habitats with native plants (including at least one milkweed species to support butterflies), provide seasonal nectar sources, water/shelter, and implement five conservation practices like removing invasive plants, avoiding pesticides, and using native species. The Department of Environmental Protection will develop a logo contest every decade for signage to identify designated pathways. The program aims to support declining pollinators (bees, butterflies, birds) while reducing municipal maintenance costs through eco-friendly land management.
