Transmission line rights-of-way and native pollinators: A WINNING COMBINATION!

Transmission line rights-of-way host a wide variety of plant and animal species, even in urban areas. The many different flowering plants on these sites attract numerous species of insects, including pollinators. Hydro-Québec recognizes the important role pollinators play in a number of ecological services. Rights-of-way, with their linear configuration, serve as corridors for pollinator movement, facilitating access to a variety of natural and semi-natural habitats. The following pollinator-friendly native plants are good sources of pollen and nectar, available in nurseries and compatible with Hydro-Québec’s transmission system. Help support native pollinators by planting patches of these species in transmission line rights-of-way!
