As our understanding of the relationship between pollinators and native plants has grown, Macomb Beautiful has expanded its focus to include pollinator-friendly initiatives. Bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects are essential to our food supply and local ecosystem — and they need our help. By creating small, intentional garden spaces throughout the city, MBA members and residents are working together to establish a pollinator corridor across Macomb, allowing these vital species to thrive and move freely through the community.

Macomb residents can receive reimbursement of 50% of the cost to plant a pollinator-friendly garden, up to $50 toward the purchase of qualifying plants. Guidance is provided for selecting and planting the most beneficial species.
