\"Wild<\/p>\n

Buglife now has Norfolk in its sights. Should we be worried? No! Quite the opposite.<\/strong> Buglife is a charity dedicated to the conservation of invertebrates generally. However, it is the pollinators, especially the different groups of bees (honey, bumble and solitary) that are its main focus.<\/p>\n

Recently the charity has been working on developing pollinator-friendly \u2018B-Lines\u2019 along rivers and the coast in northern and southern England. Now it\u2019s Norfolk\u2019s turn to benefit from its ideas and know-how. \u2018B-Lines\u2019 are an imaginative solution to the problem of the loss of flowers and pollinators. They are a series of \u2018insect pathways\u2019 running through our countryside and towns, along which Buglife is restoring and creating a series of wildflower-rich habitat stepping stones. They link existing wildlife areas together, creating a network, like a railway, that will weave across the British landscape. This will provide large areas of brand new habitat benefiting bees and butterflies\u2013 but also a host of other wildlife.<\/p>\n

The South Yare Wildlife Group\u2019s Wild Patch initiative serves a very similar purpose, as most wild patches are in people\u2019s gardens or are small areas of grassland and herb- rich plant communities on farms and community land. Wild patches along the Yare and its tributaries, such as the Chet, can be part of a B-line and help it become a reality.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s never been a better time to create a Wild Patch! Visit www.southyarewildpatch.org<\/a> or www.buglife.org.uk<\/a> to see how you can get involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
