Enhancing green spaces on London where all natural pollinators can thrive, and their habitats can be enjoyed by all.

Across the world, there is a growing awareness of the importance of halting the decline of pollinators by providing them with the habitats they need to thrive and which support so much of our wildlife. This Pollinating London Together project, which will see many City organisations working together, will have the twin benefits of increasing the biodiversity of the Square Mile and making our open spaces even more attractive for residents, workers and visitors to enjoy.

I am very excited to be supporting Pollinating London Together. It’s a brilliant initiative that brings attention to the importance of increasing green spaces in our great city. This is something that I am very passionate about. I hope that PLT’s work will encourage others to take action.

This pan-livery project is in the best tradition of our historic livery companies, bringing them together in a project which will benefit the people of London and make this a greener and better city. I encourage all livery companies to go green and get involved.

Mayoress of the City of London 2019-2021, Lady Hilary Russell

Protecting, restoring and increasing London’s natural green spaces is at the heart of the Mayor’s plans for a green recovery, creating a healthier, more resilient city where everyone has access to a green space and wildlife can thrive. This includes continuing to work to fulfil his ambitious manifesto pledge that no Londoner should be more than 10 minutes away from a green space. In the lead up to COP26 and COP15 which focuses on the ecological emergency, it’s great to see action being taken to improve the city for pollinators, enabling more Londoners to experience wildlife.

I’m delighted to be here celebrating your Pollinating London Together initiative. It sounds like a really proactive project that can involve so many people. (…) I would urge everybody to get stuck in and help our pollinators.
