At their April 4 meeting,
the CPAB discussed a new
park on the half-acre par-
cel and, taking the advice of
Werts, Nave, and Anderson,
decided to create a park that
will be different from any
other currently in the city. By
planting it with native plants,
it is hoped local residents will
learn about and be encour-
aged to incorporate some
indigenous plants that will
attract pollinators into their
own landscaping.
Plantings will include four
vital nectar-producing native
plants: local milkweed vari-
eties, fall-blooming rabbit
brush, hardy yarrow, and fra-
grant clover, all of which have
been negatively impacted by
development.

more about the importance
of pollinators in the environ-
ment, and how to improve
