Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo
Bridgeport
Connecticut's only zoo, Beardsley Zoo has been formally designated as part of the Pollinator Pathway network and operates seven butterfly and pollinator gardens throughout its grounds. The zoo has made a concerted commitment to native plant gardening, with plantings of milkweed, bee balm, cardinal flower, coneflower, and other natives that support butterflies, bees, and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. A 2023 M&T Bank grant funded additional pollinator gardens in the surrounding Bridgeport community.
