We urgently need your help to raise £5,000 to create 100 bee friendly parks across Birmingham. We will sow wildflower meadows, plant trees for bees and build nesting places in areas such as the city centre and Erdington.
Why? Bees and other pollinators are having a tough time, many are declining. Human activity has led to the loss of their homes and food. They can't survive without these.
But city green space can help fill this gap. With so many parks Birmingham can offer a helping hand to bees and butterflies. With your help we will give Birmingham parks a 'bee makeover'.
Benefits for us Put simply, we need bees and pollinators - they feed us, our wildlife and our economy. Without them our planet would be dull, our food boring and our country poorer.
Birmingham Urban Buzz has been generously funded by BiffaAward and HLF. We have a shortfall of £15,000. We hope to raise £10,000 through other sources and hope you can help with the remaining £5,000.
