Volunteers in Eden, Cumbria, have planted 8,000 wildflower plugs and seeds to support pollinator populations. This effort took place at various sites, including Fairhill Recreation Ground and Carleton Park, as part of the Planting for Pollinators project. Around 80 volunteers participated, including youth groups. The local council provided initial funding of £20,000, with an additional £11,900 allocated recently to support the initiative. The project aims to help reverse the decline of pollinators in Cumbria. Flowers are expected to bloom in the coming years, contributing to local biodiversity.
