Science-led action for urban pollinators.
Science-Led Action for Urban Pollinators
Pollinating London Together delivers practical, evidence-based initiatives to protect and restore wild pollinators in urban environments.
Our work spans long-term monitoring, site-based case studies, corporate engagement, education programmes and national knowledge sharing. Together, these projects build healthier, more connected cities for pollinators and people.
We focus on measurable outcomes, long-term datasets, and partnerships that turn ecological understanding into real-world impact.
Our Five Project Pillars
1
Monitoring & Research
Building the Evidence for Urban Biodiversity
Understanding pollinator health requires consistent, repeatable data.
Our structured monitoring includes:
Annual Pollinator Counts
Multi-year Pollinator & Habitat Surveys (2022–2024)
Rooftop connectivity research
Corporate-supported monitoring programmes
Current and recent projects include:
- Annual Pollinator Count 2025
- Do Pollinators Travel Between London’s Rooftop Gardens?
- 2024 Pollinator and Habitat Survey
- 2023 Pollinator and Habitat Survey
- 2022 Pollinator and Habitat Survey
Why it matters: Without long-term data, it is impossible to track trends, assess urban habitat quality or guide policy decisions. Our monitoring builds a growing evidence base for urban pollinator conservation.
2
Corporate Engagement
Bringing Businesses into Biodiversity Action
Urban biodiversity cannot be restored without cross-sector collaboration.
We work with corporate partners to:
Deliver structured pollinator monitoring
Activate underused green spaces
Strengthen ESG engagement
Provide hands-on biodiversity learning
Featured project:
- Corporate Pollinator Monitoring at St Paul’s Festival Gardens
Why it matters: Corporate engagement strengthens conservation outcomes while embedding sustainability into workplace culture.
3
Education & Youth Engagement
Inspiring the Next Generation
Long-term biodiversity protection depends on education.
We partner with schools, museums and youth organisations to provide hands-on ecological learning.
Recent programmes include:
- Museum of Water & Steam – Family Pollinator Engagement Day
- Youth Engagement – Pollinator Walk with Renaissance Foundation
Why it matters: Education programmes combine scientific insight with practical experience, building awareness and confidence in environmental stewardship.

Case Studies
Demonstrating Urban Biodiversity in Action
Historic and managed landscapes can become vital refuges for wild pollinators.
Our case studies showcase how thoughtful planting, habitat complexity and management decisions shape biodiversity outcomes.
These site-based projects provide practical models that can be replicated elsewhere.
5
Events & Strategic Engagement
Sharing the Model London and Beyond
Urban pollinator decline is a national challenge.
PLT contributes to wider biodiversity leadership through:
Civic forums
Horticultural partnerships
Cross-city knowledge exchange
Interactive exhibitions
Recent initiatives include:
- Inner Temple Pollinator Forum
- Sharing the PLT Model in Glasgow
- Interactive Pollinator Exhibition Programme
Why it matters: Through dialogue and collaboration, we support the development of similar initiatives across the UK.
Our Impact in Context

Delivered structured multi-year monitoring
Conducted city-wide pollinator counts
Partnered with corporate and civic institutions
Engaged young people and families in biodiversity education
Shared our model beyond London
Evidence informs action
Action builds partnerships
Partnerships expand influence
Influence strengthens urban biodiversity
