Join Buglife in Melrose in the Scottish Borders for an afternoon of plug planting to help improve local parks for biodiversity!

We’re looking for volunteers to help us plant pollinator-friendly plants as part of our Pollinators Along the Tweed project.

This event is free to attend. Please email our Pollinators Along the Tweed Officer Kate to register your interest, at Kate.O’[email protected].

Pollinators Along the Tweed is a Buglife partnership project that aims to create a network of habitat for pollinating insects along the River Tweed B-Line by increasing and connecting the area of wildflower-rich habitat. Working with the local authority, landowners and communities, Pollinators Along the Tweed will create and restore 40 hectares (100 acres) of pollinator habitat across 50 sites.

This project is funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund, with match funding from Scottish Power Foundation, NatureScot, Milkywire, Fallago Environment Fund, Craignish Trust, Northumbrian Water, J & J R Wilson Trust and AEB Charitable Trust.
