Growing Wildlife Program supports pollinators throughout Mass.
HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) – The Growing Wildlife Program launched last Friday and is dedicated to supporting pollinators, birds, and wildlife in Massachusetts. Local schools work to keep students cool as temperatures rise It's all part of the National Pollinators Month initiative, an effort to reduce the need for fossil fuels. It also increases the resilience of stormwater runoff and flooding. Not only does it help the environment, but it also contributes to the wildlife by increasing food, habitat, as well as the aesthetic beauty of the landscape. 'This one is milkweed, and they support the monarch butterfly,' said Janice Jacyzn of Holyoke. 'So I'm just hoping to invite the monarch butterfly in my yard and support them.' At Heritage State Park in Holyoke, people were able to talk to DCR members on Wednesday and learn more about the program. They were also able to grab their own Growing Wildlife Starter Kit that included free pollinator plants. For more information on the Growing Wild initiative, visit WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.
