“Life on the Edge” is an exciting new Buglife partnership project that aims to restore viable populations of some of the UK’s rarest invertebrates and plants living along the South Devon coast between Berry Head and Wembury, including the last known colony of the Six-banded Nomad Bee (Nomada sexfasciata).
The Development Phase (March 2022 – August 2023), focussed on public consultation, as well as species & habitat surveys; providing the stepping stones required to evidence the need for the project and progress through to the next stage, the Delivery Phase, which it is hoped will start in April 2024.
Update January 2024: We are thrilled to announce that ‘Life on The Edge’ has been awarded £2.24m by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to restore habitats for rare invertebrates along the South Devon coast
