Information on our pollinator action plan
About the action plan
Pollinators are essential for biodiversity and our wider environment. They maintain the diversity of wildflowers and support healthy ecosystems, particularly by helping plants to produce fruits and seeds upon which birds and other animals rely. They are of enormous value to agriculture as well as public open spaces and ultimately our health and well-being.
Unfortunately, pollinators face many pressures, including habitat loss, pests and diseases, extreme weather, competition from invasive species, climate change and pesticide use.
The plan will ensure pollinators are a key consideration when planning any Council activity that could affect their population levels.
