New bee bus stops coming soon to a street near you

Clear Channel’s Living Roofs have already been carefully assessed for their wildlife credentials by The Wildlife Trusts and classified as having “High Strategic Significance.” Local Authorities will now additionally benefit from the expert guidance of their local Wildlife Trusts to place the Living Roofs in locations that will have the biggest positive impact for wildlife and the local community, and play an active part in tackling the decline of insects.

The Wildlife Trusts’ report, Insect Declines and Why They Matter, outlined how we have lost more than 50% of insects since 1970 and showed that 41% of the Earth’s remaining five million insect species are now threatened with extinction.

Clear Channel aims to have installed 150 of the bee bus stops across the country by the end of 2022, with over 40 already in situ from as far north as Glasgow, and down to Brighton on the south coast.

The bus stops will also help wildlife by promoting The Wildlife Trusts’ campaigns such as 30 Days Wild. Every year thousands of people enjoy taking part in the UK’s biggest nature challenge by pledging to do something wild each day in June. Everyone who signs up to do the 30 Days Wild challenge receives a free pack full of inspiration guiding supporters through the month. Favourite activities during 2021 included al-fresco dining, planting wildflowers seeds and listening to birdsong.
