All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025 Partners

Partner organisations are those that have committed to delivering the 186 actions in the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025. They also include those Councils that have formally signed up to the AIPP and agreed to take actions to support pollinators on the public land they manage. It is hoped that during the life of this Plan, new Councils will agree to become partners.

Over the next five years, we will also maintain a list of supporting organisations. Supporters of the AIPP 2021-2025 are other groups/organisations who endorse the new Plan and agree to take specific actions themselves to assist. Please find details on how to become a supporter here.
