Description

In 2023 Taunton Town Council declared a climate and ecological emergency, committing to reaching Net Zero by 2030. As part of the Council's strategy to address the climate crisis, there is an ambition to expand pollinator networks in Taunton by establishing native wildflower corridors to help with local recovery.  
The Council recognises the importance of native species recovery in tackling the climate crisis. The council hopes that by supporting native species recovery, not only will it increase Taunton's local resilience to climatic fluctuations but will also act as an educational point for residents to engage with green spaces, as well as improve green space accessibility disparities.
