Clerkenwell Pollinator Path
We’re a group of local people and organisations who live and work in Clerkenwell, love the area, and are passionate about boosting biodiversity in the neighbourhood.
Working together, learning together and sharing skills and knowledge as we go, the Clerkenwell Pollinator Path is supporting people to use balconies, tree-pits, playgrounds, doorsteps, office rooftops, private gardens and public parks to create and connect effective, attractive pollinator pantries and habitats.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Set against a backdrop of global biodiversity loss, in one of the most nature-deprived areas of London, the Clerkenwell Pollinator Path dares to imagine a neighbourhood known for urban nature restoration, with blooming pollinator gardens large and small bringing beauty to our streets and connecting people to nature and each other. Most important of all? This is a path and we want to enjoy the journey!
HOW TO GET INVOLVED?
Calling all Clerkenwell residents, businesses, schools and community groups, who’d like to get involved in creating and caring for pollinator-friendly patches! Whether you’re planting a small window box, transforming a terrace, taking over a tree pit or enhancing larger green spaces.
