THE BIRDS, BEES & BUTTERFLIES
The Butterfly/Pollinator Hill at Gladstone Nature Park is a new, two-year FOGNAP rehabilitation project. The plan is to rehabilitate a 25-foot tall, 10,000 square-foot hill near the Gladstone Nature Park meadow using FOGNAP volunteers, school students and their families, to restore it with native plants that will attract butterflies, pollinators, and birds. We hope to create a showcase for beautiful Willamette Valley butterflies, flowers, and native gardening practices. The Butterfly/Pollinator Hill will be a working laboratory for local teachers and students to learn more about Oregon native habitat, biodiversity, and the importance of pollinators.
POLLINATORS ARE IN REAL TROUBLE
Pollinators are in serious trouble on our planet due to habitat loss, disease, urban development, and overuse of pesticides. Threats to pollinators are endangering three-quarters of the world's food supply that relies on beneficial insects, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, a department within the United Nations.
THANK YOU ... GRANTS ARE IMPORTANT MILESTONES FOR OUR PARK
Thanks to Metro's 2019 Nature in Neighborhoods Restoration and Community Stewardship Grant, aiming to help FOGNAP attract buttterflies, pollinators, birds and visitors like you to the Gladstone Nature Park and the Gladstone area. The project is intended to be a demonstration site and will include interpretive signage to help visitors identify plants and species. OnPoint Community Credit Union also awarded FOGNAP a Community Impact Grant to purchase supplies for K-12 students to work on the Butterfly/Pollinator Hill.
The Butterfly/Pollinator Hill project would not be possible without FOGNAP's partners: Metro, Gladstone School District, City of Gladstone, Exceed Enterprises, Audubon Society, Bosky Dell Natives, and OnPoint Community Credit Union to name a few. Watch this project develop through June 2021.
