Pledge now for pollinators

Launching our Put Pollinators First campaign, Emma Crawforth reveals the first three of our experts’ pledges – will you join them and make your own pledge to help?

I’m excited to be unveiling our 30th anniversary campaign to you. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our birthday than to encourage the nation to look after our declining pollinators. We’re going to write about how to help pollinators in every issue of the magazine this spring and summer, but to really make a difference and benefit our pollinators, we need your help.

To find out more about what you’re already doing, we’ve put together a quick survey you can fill in. We want to discover what

the nation’s gardeners are doing now to make a difference at this crucial time. We’d love you to take part – just go to bit.ly/pollinators-feb

We’re all going to help pollinators here at the magazine too – team members have made individual pledges, as have our expert panellists. Every month we’ll be exploring some of those pledges, to inspire you to join us. This month our pledges come from two of our panellists – Dr Trevor Dines and Kate Bradbury – and from me, too. Do let us know what pledges you’d like to make at gardenersworld.com/ pollinator-pledge
