National Pollinator Week is June 17-23

From Naitore Djigbenou/Allen Blair

Frankfort, KY - - A multiyear effort by Team Kentucky to plant nectar-rich flowers and native plants on Kentucky's roadsides continues to support a thriving environment of pollinators key to crop production in the commonwealth. As part of National Pollinator Week, observed June 17-23, 2024, state highway officials celebrate Kentucky's focus on nurturing a healthy environment while maintaining safe roadsides.

Since 2015, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) crews have seeded more than 100 habitat sites, covering about 200 acres along interstates, parkways, and other state rights of way, including a patch along the LBN Cumberland Parkway, right at the Adair/Russell County line.

"The cultivation of these pollinator plots is one of the many ways we strive to be good stewards of our highway network," said Transportation Secretary Jim Gray. "The habitats we create will improve our ecosystem, help plants reproduce and ultimately build a better Kentucky."

Filled with a variety of grasses and native flowers, the colorful habitats attract birds, bees, butterflies and other creatures that drink nectar and feed off pollen, transporting grains as they move from plant to plant. This pollination helps maintain an abundant and stable food supply for humans and animals.
