Donna Merrill is the founder of Pollinator Pathway, a grassroots initiative dedicated to creating a connected network of pollinator-friendly habitats in urban and suburban areas. With a deep passion for environmental conservation, Donna has worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the critical importance of pollinators—such as bees, butterflies, and other insects—in maintaining biodiversity and supporting healthy ecosystems.

Through her work with Pollinator Pathway, Donna has spearheaded numerous community engagement projects, educational programs, and partnerships aimed at promoting sustainable gardening practices, habitat restoration, and local environmental stewardship. She believes that even small, intentional actions—like planting an window box garden—can make a significant difference in supporting native pollinators and reversing the decline of these vital species.

Donna’s vision for a more sustainable future is rooted in collaboration, and she continues to work with schools, community organizations, and municipalities to cultivate a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges facing pollinators and how individuals can help make a positive impact.
