Beekeepers join 1MetreMatters

Creating More Wildlife Habitats

Professor Dave Goulson, an esteemed faculty member at the University of Sussex, has emphasized the urgency of addressing the decline of insects, arguing that it necessitates a collective effort from every sector of society. According to Goulson, taking action to protect and preserve insect populations is not only crucial for their survival, but also has wide-reaching implications for the entire ecosystem. He likened insects to the proverbial canaries in the coal mine, suggesting that their decline serves as a warning signal that demands our attention and action.


In response to this pressing issue, we are excited to share that the Brecknock and Radnor Beekeeping Association has joined forces with On The Verge to implement the 1MetreMatters initiative, which aims to create more wildlife habitats. This collaboration underscores the importance of promoting biodiversity and preserving natural ecosystems. To learn more about our 1MetreMatters Campaign and how you can contribute to this vital cause, we encourage you to explore the details on our website and get involved.
