What is Cumbria's Plan Bee?
Cumbria’s Plan Bee strategy has been developed by the Cumbria Local Nature Partnership, as part of our Planting for Pollinators** project. Its goal is to help people take action for pollinators.
Cumbria's Plan Bee highlights a number of actions that everyone in Cumbria can take to help our native insect pollinators.
We all depend on pollinators. They play a vital role in our food production, pollinating many fruit and vegetable crops, and are also a key component of our natural world; however, many species are in trouble.
We urgently need to make our gardens, public greenspace and farmland more pollinator friendly.
We need to get everyone thinking about pollinators, everyone taking some action (however small) and to get every available piece of land working for pollinators.
Plus, we need commitments from key organisations, groups, businesses, farmers, gardeners and landowners to deliver the priority actions identified.

** Developed by Cumbria Local Nature Partnership, and delivered by Cumbria Wildlife Trust (CWT) and Cumbria County Council (CCC), Planting for Pollinators project builds on previous award-winning work for pollinators in Cumbria (Pollinators | Cumbria Wildlife Trust ), and allows us to expand our geographic area, the range of habitat interventions and our partnerships.
Planting for Pollinators project was funded by the Government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund, which is administered through National Heritage Lottery Fund, and Cumbria County Council’s Environment Fund.
