“Calderdale Corridor’s of Colour” which links into the Nationwide Grow Wild Project sponsored by Kew Gardens.

Increasing the quantity of suitable pollen- and nectar rich flowers can provide more food for pollinators.

Pollinators also require a range of other resources, and this depends on the insect group, eg suitable nesting sites for bees and wasps; particular (native) plants larval stages of some insects such as butterfly and for moth caterpillars to feed on.
