Haslemere’s Insect Superhighway
Being at a cross roads of an insect superhighway might not sound like great news (!) but consider that as well as being pollinators, insects are a core food source for many species including bats and birds. If their numbers drop, so too do all wildlife numbers. Their wildflower meadow habitats have all but disappeared, so national charity Buglife have identified the most important routes across the UK and Europe to focus wildflower restoration on to support insect life and allow it to travel. Every wildlife garden on the route helps!
