Scotland is buzzing with pollinator-friendly activity - NatureScot

A wealth of projects to help pollinators are taking place across Scotland to tackle biodiversity loss and the nature crisis, a new NatureScot report reveals.

The Pollinator Strategy 2022 Progress Report highlights the work of organisations coming together across the country to create wildflower meadows, connect habitats, and gather evidence on how climate change is affecting pollinators.

This fifth report on the wide range of projects helping to deliver The Pollinator Strategy for Scotland details the progress made by a range of environmental bodies, local authorities, scientific colleagues and community groups through to individuals in order to make Scotland a place where pollinators thrive.

NatureScot Pollinator Strategy Manager, Jim Jeffrey said “Collaboration lies at the heart of the Pollinator Strategy for Scotland. We are fortunate that across Scotland a range of inspirational partners continue to help achieve a better environment for pollinators.

“Projects such as the ambitious Irvine to Girvan Nectar Network and Glasgow Pollinator Plan show an increasing emphasis on creating and managing habitat for pollinators. This year our annual pollinator conference will focus on monitoring, drawing on the expertise of speakers from across the UK and beyond, and our hope is that this will encourage even more people to engage in work to help pollinators under Scotland’s Pollinator Strategy.”
