Pollinate Country

A direct action campaign to improve the genetic resilience of wild and native bee species across the Northern Rivers NNSW. Pollinate Country bridges the cultural importance of local ecological health with community well-being.

The campaign addresses the need of wild bees to live freely and reproduce naturally by increasing the available number of wild cavity sites across a diversified location.

By connecting with bees and country, Bee Guardians will develop strong environmental stewardship practices that will enhance biodiversity and bio-cultural heritage for future generations.

1. 189 wild nests created
2. Promotion of swarming and natural reproduction
3. 567 plants (3 native flowering plants per Bee Sanctuary) 
4. Knowledge and education on pollinator conservation for schools, families and community 
5. Pure habitat for pollinators to nest and feed that is chemical-free

Each Bee Sanctuary creates a minimum of 3m2 area located on a chemical-free land that includes a nesting box or a log for bees, 3 native flowering trees and bee-friendly plants. A healthy space for Bee Guardians to observe, protect and cultivate pollinators. 

You can get involved as:

• Become a Bee Guardian
