The art installation was a collaborative effort between Luther and a summer school class from Parkade Elementary. Together, they designed and painted colorful motifs celebrating Missouri's native wildflowers and pollinators. In addition to the art post, newly planted trees have been added to enhance pollinator habitat and contribute to Columbia's growing urban tree canopy.

This project is a partnership among several City departments including Public Works, Community Development, Office of Sustainability, Office of Cultural Affairs, and Tree Board. It showcases the power of teamwork in creating positive change for the community.

Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate the Pollinator Trail Art Post Project and learn more about the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem. See you there!
