Scotland’s pollinators are in serious decline. Wildflower meadows are prime pollinator habitat, but we’ve lost over 95% of them since the 1930s. We must act now to save thousands of species from extinction.

A helping hand for Scotland’s pollinators

Led by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, the Ayrshire Nectar Network is stepping up to the challenges ahead. By transforming local landscapes into vibrant, nectar-rich havens, we can create spaces where pollinators can thrive. By connecting  stepping-stones of pollinator-friendly habitats, these special insects can feed, shelter and move through the countryside.

These connections help create healthier habitats which, when boost our soil health, provide carbon storage and make landscapes more resilient to climate change. They also provide perfect conditions for a range of other wildlife to thrive. They may be tiny, but the impact which pollinators have upon animal, plant and human health is enormous.

Over 75% of Scotland’s flowering plants depend on insect pollination.

Yes! I would like to help pollinators.

£50 could buy enough wildflower seed to sow a pollinator patch the size of a tennis court

£100 could train a group of volunteers in survey techniques

£130 could buy a meadow management kit

£500 could plant a thicket of pollinator-friendly trees
