BritishBees.org is currently engaged in a vital mission to secure and restore a sprawling 10-acre woodland nestled near Godalming, Surrey, transforming it into our next dedicated Bee Sanctuary. This exceptional piece of land has suffered from profound neglect, remaining unclaimed and uncared for over the past 50 years, making its restoration both a massive undertaking and a critical opportunity. Our ambitious vision is to completely overhaul this forgotten woodland, converting it into a thriving, protected haven where pollinators can flourish—a place guaranteed to be safe from the harmful effects of pesticides, the rampant threat of habitat loss, and decades of environmental neglect. This sanctuary will not only provide essential safe havens but will also serve as a vital ecosystem to help secure the future of Britain’s bee populations.
However, the magnitude of this project means we absolutely cannot achieve this goal without immediate and robust support. Our crucial first step is to secure the land itself: we are desperately working towards having the 10-acre woodland officially donated to BritishBees.org. Once the ownership of the land is securely transferred, we can finally begin our intensive care programs in earnest. These programs are comprehensive, involving deep habitat restoration, the careful planting of thousands of pollinator-rich, native species, and the meticulous creation of diverse nesting spaces specifically designed for various species of bees and other essential beneficial insects. With the land ownership permanently secured, our expert team can establish long-term management strategies, ensuring this sanctuary is protected, maintained, and continually enhanced for generations of pollinators to come. We urge you to help us make this crucial dream a reality—please Donate today and become an essential part of the effort to save Britain’s bees from the brink.
