CONSIDER SPECIFIC POLLINATOR-FRIENDLY PLACES 

Help ‘species on the edge’ in your area

• Considering developing a meadow? Or sponsoring a meadow in the local community. Identify specific habitat development in coastal areas across the island for the Large Carder Bee.
• On the west coast (Mayo/Mullet Peninsula, north Clare, south-west Donegal and/or Connemara)? Consider habitat for the Great Yellow Bumblebee.
• Adjacent to The Burren/Galway? Consider specific habitat for the Shrill Carder Bee.
• Adjacent to coastal area/near dunes/machair (floral rich grasslands)? Consider habitat for the Northern Colletes.
