Bee Bold Award Winners!

Bee Bold Awards

We're winners! We're so excited that Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust received the Community Space for Nature award at the West of England Combined Authority Bee Bold awards, for the work done through the Really Wild Lockleaze project. We're so proud of everyone who got involved and made the project a success- it's been a real community effort. 

The award celebrates the fantastic work being done in Bristol to support bees and other pollinators, and with over 1500 metres squared of wildflower meadows planted by Lockleaze residents and volunteers through the Really Wild Lockleaze Project, we’ve certainly done just that. 

The ceremony was held at the stunning Redcatch Community Gardens in Knowle, and the award was accepted by LNT CEO Melissa, Community Ecologist Eric, and Lockleaze residents including Martin, Huma and her children Zainab and Tahir, all of whom have been involved in Really Wild Lockleaze. The award was presented by West of England Mayor Dan Norris, and is part of a wider package of measures to make the West of England the bee and pollinator capital of the UK.

We’re continuing to plant bulbs throughout winter, as well as continuing our work at Lockleaze Sports Centre with a morning of tree maintenance on 21st November, from 10.30-1.30pm. See you soon!
