Aspetuck Land Trust worked with landscape architect Evan Abramson to design a demonstration garden for the Haskins Preserve in Westport. We encourage you to visit Haskins to see the in-process wetland planting, entry garden, alternative lawn, and more. For those who would like to use the work at Haskins as a template, click here to access this pollinator toolkit. Additionally, Dr. Robert Gegear is measuring the abundance of endangered bees at the site.
