Saving the small things that run the planet
Part of the national Urban Buzz project, Urban Buzz Plymouth provided a fantastic opportunity for Buglife to once again work in partnership with Plymouth City Council, and build upon work started by our Plymouth’s Buzzing project. Urban Buzz Plymouth created or enhanced 39 hectares of pollinator habitat across 101 ‘Buzzing Hotspots’ in the city, working closely with local communities to improve, their local parks, nature reserves, road verges and unused patches of land.
Quick Facts:

We have created a whole array of new flower-rich habitats throughout the city, working closely with local communities to improve, their local parks, nature reserves, road verges and unused patches of land.
Vibrant swathes of flowers and new nesting sites have brightened up many corners of Plymouth, and have not only improved the city visually; they have encouraged even more bees, butterflies, hoverflies and other insect pollinators and created a real buzz in Plymouth!
The Urban Buzz Plymouth project was funded by Biffa Award and with kind thanks to Ciaran O’Sullivan, Georgia Witton-Maclean, Hilary Bisschops and Stuart Little for their generous donations.
