Conservation - Buglife B-Lines Project (56) More files...
Buglife aims to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates and halt extinctions, supporting conservation initiatives by other organisations in the UK, Europe and worldwide. Buglife's West of England B-Lines project aims to create a network of wildflower habitat linking existing wildlife areas from the west to the east, and from the north to the south, linking the Cotswolds with the Mendips, cities to the countryside, and the coast to the hills.
