Urban Buzz Ipswich
Part of the national Urban Buzz project, Urban Buzz Ipswich created or enhanced 27 hectares of pollinator habitat across 104 ‘Buzzing Hotspots’ in the town. Thanks to the efforts of over 800 volunteers, wildflower-rich grasslands were created or enhanced, bug-friendly gardens planted and nesting habitat created across high profile locations such as Holywells Park, Christchurch Park and Landseer Park. Partners including Ipswich Borough Council, Greenways Countryside Project, Butterfly Conservation Suffolk and the Ipswich Wildlife Group all worked together to bring colour and wildlife backs to the town’s parks and open spaces.
