Pollinator Pathways Project
The Pollinator Pathways Project’s mission is to promote London as a pollinator sanctuary and help provide everyone with the resources and knowledge to create their own garden. A pollinator's pathway weaves through urban structures and helps pollinators on their journey. The group’s goal is to help the community to recognize the important role that pollinators play in our long-term food security.
