Andover Pollinator Pathway Speaker Series featuring Marc Fournier

Marc Fournier, a Massachusetts Certified Arborist, will discuss the value of native trees, shrubs, and other plants to our ecosystem including pollinators, birds, wildlife, and us. Learn more about the Andover Pollinator Pathway program, how to find the right native plants for the right locations, and how messy yards with less mowing are better.

Bring your favorite plant guides and any questions you have to this exciting workshop, and you might receive a special prize!
