Get outdoors and enjoy a Pollinator Picnic with family or friends in your garden or local park this summer!

Spend time in nature, look out for pollinators (like bees and butterflies!) with our printable Pollinator Spotter Sheet and enjoy a delicious picnic. It's fun for all the family!

If you enjoyed your Pollinator Picnic, please consider giving us a donation above. By donating, you can help Naturehood reach and inspire more people to make a positive difference for bees, butterflies and other pollinators!

Why do pollinators need help?

What would nature be like without the buzzing of bees or the beauty of butterflies?

Across the UK, our wildlife, especially our pollinators like bees and butterflies, are facing more challenges than ever before. Over 70% of our butterflies and a third of British wild bees and hoverflies are in decline. Climate change, habitat loss, and pesticide use are all factors contributing to these losses.

But there is hope! By providing safe havens in our outdoor spaces (big or small!) we can help our wildlife make a comeback. Research has shown that urban gardens that are allowed to grow wilder with less pesticide use have more species of bumblebee and other invertebrates than urban gardens that are kept tidy.

Want to do more?

You could organise a Pollinator Picnic fundraiser with your community or local group and encourage everyone who takes part to donate.

First, set up a fundraising page (click the 'Start fundraising' button on the right > ) and then check out our blog with tips on how to host a Pollinator Picnic! We also have a Pollinator Picnic Pack with all the resources you might need for organising and hosting your picnic, including a Pollinator Checklist activity and ID sheet, and a poster template to promote your event.
