With your support, ecoACTIVE will launch a community bursary scheme that gives Hackney residents and groups the plants, seeds, habitat materials and hands-on guidance they need to create beautiful, high-quality pollinator habitats for bees and butterflies, right where people live, learn and play.

The UK is one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries -97% wildflower meadows lost -80% butterfly species declined -35 bee species at risk of extinction. Across Hackney, residents, schools and youth groups care deeply about their green spaces - but many lack resources to turn them into places where wildlife can truly thrive. We are building a pollinator corridor (Hackney Buzzline), but need funds to help communities to act for themselves to transform their local green spaces for wildlife.
Bursaries will provide pollinator-friendly plants and seeds, nesting resources such as bee hotels, alongside practical training for residents, young people and volunteers. This will provide flowers and nesting sites, while building skills and confidence to care for green spaces. Our 2-year Hackney Buzzline surveys have recorded 170+ pollinator species and identified which plants and habitats work best locally, so communities receive proven guidance that turns small spaces into wildlife havens.
