On Tuesday 23rd July at the Royal Welsh Show, Welsh Government Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies launched the final Action Plan for Pollinators which was a direct result of Friends of the Earth Cymru meetings with Welsh Government officials.
This represents a huge victory for The Bee Cause campaign. The Plan starts off with a welcome commitment to establishing a taskforce to carry through the various proposals. Some of these proposals include working through established agri-environment schemes to provide help, advice and support to farmers in Wales; working with local authorities and other land managers to promote best practice as well as using an award scheme to promote pollinator friendly schemes.
There is also a welcome commitment to establish an Urban Pollinators Initiative for Wales, to work with schools and to provide help and funding for community led projects. There is much to commend this plan and it is down to Friends of the Earth Cymru that bees in Wales may finally have something to smile about! A huge well done to all in Cymru who've been involved.
