Pollinators Paradise
Bridport, England, United Kingdom
Aim
To purchase native Snowdrops, Wood Anemone, Wild Daffodil bulbs, plants and seeds suitable for wooded areas.
Over the last decade the Allington Hillbillies volunteer to look after a 14 acre site leased by Allington Parish Council. A large part of the area is being developed as a flower meadow, for the benefit of wildlife and the local community. It provides pollen and nectar from late April until August. With warmer days in late winter, pollinators have limited foraging opportunities and often die from starvation.
Our project is to introduce more early spring Woodland flora. Native Snowdrops, Daffodils, Wood Anemones and primroses will be planted throughout Cooper’s Wood, providing pollen and nectar from early February to late April.
The money raised will allow us to purchase a large quantity of bulbs, plants and seeds. People from the local community will be invited to plant the flowering plants in the Woodland.
This will enhance our on going project to improve the diversity of the Woodland. Many flowering trees have been introduced after felling those with Ash Die Back. The area is used as an outdoor class room to teach all ages about nature.
