The Bee Friendly Trust – Pollinating the platforms

Our platforms and rail networks are alive with wildlife. Hanging baskets, wildflower planters and station gardens are all helping bees pollinate the flora around the stations and tracks. This, in turn, encourages an increased biodiversity of fauna, even in the most urban areas. Emma Pritchard and the Trust’s founder, Luke Dixon describe how by working with community groups, station staff and travellers they have developed a network of rich wildlife corridors and how you can help them with every journey you make – from weeding and dead heading to emptying your left over water into a planter, we can all help pollinate the platforms.
