There's a buzz in the air: Blackrock Tidy Towns launch programme to encourage pollinator friendly planting Reporter: '); Blackrock Tidy Towns have launched a programme to encourage pollinator friendly planting in local housing estates. Residents Associations have been notified and encouraged to select an area that they can develop to attract butterflies, bees, birds and other types of wildlife. A grant of €250 will be awarded to the four most successful projects submitted. This funding has come from the Department of Rural and Community Affairs as part of the Government’s commitment to support Tidy Towns Groups in their preparation for the 2021 National Tidy Towns Competition.
