Saving the small things that run the planetThe South Devon B-Lines Project is a partnership between Buglife and South Devon Area AONB, and is part of the wider B-Lines initiative, identifying and then delivering a UK-wide network of wildflower-rich meadows and grasslands.
The project will create a network of B-Lines linking wildflower-rich areas across South Devon from the west to the east, and from the north to the south, linking Dartmoor to the coast, and linking our towns and urban areas to the countryside.
A boost for rare bees
As well as boosting the numbers of pollinating insects in our countryside, South Devon B-Lines will help bats and other wildlife. South Devon is a national hotspot for some of our most threatened bees, B-Lines will help to many of these species to thrive. Find out more about our South West Bees Project.
Working in partnership
The Avon Valley Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Group is helping to create, restore and enhance wildflower-rich grasslands and other habitats along the B-Lines in in the Avon Valley.
