Trees & Bees

We're working to help refurbish the Welcome to Bangor signs that act as gateways to our city. Each sign is being repainted and will be surrounded by a native plants to create beauty and set an example for creating habitat for our pollinators. We have finished 2 of the 3 signs.

We planted 26 native trees at the intersection of Oak and Washington Streets near the Penobscot Bridge to Brewer. These trees in combination with the Welcome to Bangor Sign that we repainted and surrounded with a native pollinator garden will create habitat and a beautiful gateway to Bangor. 

We worked with the City of Bangor to make Bangor the first certified Beee City USA in Maine. This program recognizes, supports, and encourages pollinator conservation in cities, towns, and counties. 

We planted 17 new street trees at the intersection of Hammond, Ohio, High, and Clinton Streets to enhance aesthetics, provide shade, and improve pedestrian safety. Working with the City of Bangor, we had 250 squart feet of asphalt removed to make room for trees. 

We planted six new trees at the intersection of Park and Center Streets to enhance aesthetics, provide shade, and improve pedestrian safety.

Whether you're an experienced gardener or just someone who's interested in making spaces more beautiful, we can use your help!
