Ireland’s Pollinator Plan in Action | Dublin News

From lawns to wildflowers, Ireland’s green spaces are transforming thanks to the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan — a grassroots movement sparked by Dr. Úna Fitzpatrick and Professor Jane Stout in 2015. What began as a small initiative has grown into a nationwide effort with over 5,000 pollinator-friendly sites and every local government on the island as a partner. By reducing mowing, planting native trees, cutting pesticides, and encouraging flowering hedgerows, communities, farmers, and sports clubs have joined forces to create nature corridors every 200 meters. Now entering its next phase (2026–2030) with expanded funding and staff, the plan aims to reverse pollinator decline in line with EU targets — all while building community connections and relying on citizen scientists to track progress.
