Climate and Nature

Alcester Connected for Climate and Nature

What’s the plan?

This fun, community-led project is all about helping bees, hedgehogs, butterflies and other vital creatures by making Alcester a haven for wildlife. Together with local schools, nature groups and the community, we will be:

  • Planting pollinator friendly wildflower areas around town and in school gardens.
  • Installing hedgehog highways and hedgehog houses so our spiky friends can roam safely.
  • Hosting nature loving events like a Bioblitz, Bee Festival, Nature Photography Competition and Hedgehog Evening.
  • Share useful guides and tips.
  • Start volunteer groups to keep the good work going year after year.
  • Working towards getting Bee Friendly Town status

Why does it matter?

Our bees and hedgehogs are in trouble and need a helping hand. This project is about turning the tide by restoring habitats, raising awareness and getting the whole community involved.

And its not just good for wildlife, this project brings lots of benefits to Alcester too! This is an opportunity to get involved, learn new skills, act on climate change, create beautiful spaces and feel a sense of local pride and community spirit.

Want to get involved?

We need volunteers, schools, nature lovers and curious beginners of all ages to help us sow seeds, spot species, share ideas and make Alcester bloom, for wildlife.
