Urban Buzz Bristol
Part of the national Urban Buzz project, Urban Buzz Bristol created or enhanced 35ha of pollinator habitat across 108 ‘Buzzing Hotspots’ in the city. Thanks to the effort of over 3,000 volunteers, Bristol’s green spaces were enhanced for pollinators with wildflower-rich grassland creation and enhancement, bug-friendly garden plants, flowering shrubs, nesting habitat. The project worked with local partners such as Avon Wildlife Trust (AWT) and Bristol Water to bring colour and wildlife to high profile locations such as Southmead Hospital, university campuses and Eastville Park.
