McKeon Farm has been divided into four design areas. Each represents a distinct landscape typology commonly found in rural Western Connecticut and surrounding regions. For each area, a selection of plants has been arranged into a design that is appropriate for the ecological conditions of the site, as well as the aesthetics of the particular space, its present land use, and the surrounding landscape.

These designs were created to increase biodiversity and climate resilience by attracting and sustaining the widest possible range of pollinator species, and in particular, species of the greatest conservation priority in Western Connecticut. Each area targets a particular type of landscape or ecological condition: the plant arrangements and lists can therefore be applied to any similar landscape. By replicating this Toolkit across Western Connecticut and neighboring counties and states, the building blocks for a regional pollinator corridor will be strengthened, and hopefully, many of these at-risk species will not only be attracted to your landscapes, but sustained.
