We are Conservation Connection (a group of your own local conservation and wildlife enthusiasts and experts) and we want you to join our New Forest Big Bee Rescue this spring, a huge joint effort to make our area a wonderful place for our bees to live and thrive. We even have Jimmy Doherty’s personal endorsement for our project – his Channel 4 TV series, Jimmy’s Big Bee Rescue, was our inspiration.
“I am delighted to hear about Conservation Connection’s Big Bee Rescue in the New Forest. I urge all residents and businesses, adults and children, to get involved and tell family, friends and workmates about it. I hope everyone will take up the challenge to get planting bee-friendly flowers and creating a linking network of habitats to help bees and other important pollinators survive and thrive. I very much look forward to hearing how the project progresses and seeing the results. Good luck!” Jimmy Doherty
So, the first thing to do… please like our Conservation Connection Facebook page and follow our Twitter account (links below) and tell your friends and neighbours to do the same.
