Creates "Pollinator Pathway" designation for municipalities.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A2335 creates a voluntary "Pollinator Pathway" designation for municipalities that meet specific habitat standards. To qualify, towns must provide pollinator habitat, include native host plants supporting butterfly species (like milkweeds), offer seasonal nectar sources, ensure water/shelter access, and implement at least five conservation practices (e.g., reducing pesticides, using native plants, rainwater harvesting). The Department of Environmental Protection will issue a standardized sign to qualifying municipalities after a statewide logo contest every decade. This bill directly affects New Jersey municipalities seeking to enhance local ecosystems and support declining pollinator populations.
