The Nature Conservancy invites you to join us for the annual Stonington Lobster Trap Tree Lighting. This year, one of our Connecticut staff members painted one of the buoys that will be featured on the tree.
We can't wait to see how this year's tree comes together and all the amazing work that will be a part of the display!
The Nature Conservancy's "Biodiversity Buoy" depicts important pollinators and pollinator plants that are native in Connecticut. Pollination is important for a strong, healthy ecosystem. Most food for humans comes from flowering plants, and more than 80 percent of flowering plants need pollination. Who knows what our holiday dinners would look like without pollinators helping our vegetables grow?
Tebben Gill Lopez, the artist and a member of our Nature Conservancy team in Connecticut says, “I hope that people appreciate how beautiful and fragile this wildlife is when they see our buoy."
