The national ask
We are supporting the RSPB campaign Attack on Nature so we invite you send a bee to your MP with a hand written note. Template letter below.
The local ask
Here in Leeds we want to encourage biodiversity in Leeds City Centre. In the city centre there are some large planters that are part of Leeds in Bloom. We are asking the businesses that look after them to take care of them and plant some native plants that will encourage pollinators.
