WORK will begin on an exciting project to protect and reintroduce pollinators in Copeland this week.
Volunteers are urged to take part in bulb planting sessions across Whitehaven and Distington as part of the £1.6 million ‘Get Cumbria Buzzing’ project which aims to tackle a decline in bees and other pollinators.
Copeland Council, a partner in the three-year project, has received £60,000 to create havens for insects spanning almost 10,000 square meters.
