Turnpike, PennDOT officials expand pollinator habitats, will include Irwin interchange

Native plants like bee balm and black-eyed Susan are prominent in Vickie Babyak’s Dravosburg backyard, which is part of the Audubon Society’s Certified Backyard Habitat program.

Pennsylvania Turnpike and state transportation officials are hoping to brighten the roadside, boost the local pollinator population and spark the public’s interest in planting native species for critical pollinating wildlife like bees and butterflies.
