LANCASTER — A pollinator garden has been planted around an old ash tree on the summit lawn in front of the John Wingate Weeks Historic Site at Weeks State Park. It will help attract and benefit a variety of pollinators while aesthetically improving the summit area and enhancing park visitor experiences.
With excellent guidance and approvals from the State of New Hampshire’s Division of Natural and Cultural Resources' Division of Forest and Lands, the Natural Heritage Bureau, the Division of Parks and Recreation and the Bureau of Historic Sites, the park and site received some greatly appreciated support and enhancements. The University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Field Specialists were also onboard helping to design the garden's layout and discuss planting and maintenance needs. Â
