Practical action for Scotland’s pollinators

Creating spaces where pollinators and people thrive.

RePollinate is a Scottish charity dedicated to improving prospects for threatened pollinators through practical action. It works with businesses, local authorities and community groups to create high quality, pollinator friendly green spaces, build local knowledge and help organisations support biodiversity in ways that can last.

Why this matters

Pollinators under pressure

Changes to climate, changes to landscape, increased use of chemicals, loss of forage and habitat, new diseases and invasive species are among the challenges faced by our hard working pollinators.

Across the UK, 13 bee species have already gone extinct, and another 35 are actively threatened with extinctionBumblebee Conservation Trust

What we do

Three connected ways to create lasting change.

 

01

Innovate

We’re rethinking how green spaces can bring people and pollinators together, pushing the boundaries of biodiversity led design to create places that are both beautiful and ecologically valuable.
