The National Biodiversity Data Centre is delighted to have received funding to deliver the next phase of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2026-2030.
The All Ireland Pollinator Plan (AIPP) stands out as one of Ireland’s best environmental success stories over the last decade. It has delivered a framework bringing together different sectors across the island of Ireland to create a landscape where pollinators can survive and thrive. Upon its launch, and subsequent coordination, by the National Biodiversity Data Centre in 2015, it immediately found traction with both local authorities and community groups engaged in local environmental initiatives. The All Ireland Pollinator Plan has played a huge role in leveraging public and private green space amenities away from high intensity maintenance and low biodiversity. It has done this by encouraging chemical free grounds maintenance, native horticulture, and a more seasonally friendly mowing and maintenance schedule for plants and wildlife. This has helped secure a major change in attitudes across many local authorities, civic initiatives such as the Tidy Towns Competition, and by private land owners.
