Adopt a Bee or Hive

Rewilding Rainford is back! This time, we’re going bigger, better, and wilder—bringing native wildflowers back to Rainford and rebuilding vital habitats for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. But to make this happen, we need your help!

To fund our rewilding efforts, we’re offering a unique adoption scheme where you can adopt a bee, a queen, or even an entire hive! Every adoption directly supports our mission to restore wildflower meadows, protect pollinators, and improve biodiversity across Rainford.

How It Works

  • Adopt a Bee – A perfect way to show your support and do your part to help pollinators thrive.

  • Adopt a Queen – Play a vital role in supporting a colony, helping us expand our beekeeping and rewilding projects.

  • Adopt a Hive – The ultimate way to contribute! Your adoption will help fund wildflower planting, habitat restoration, and education initiatives.

Where Your Contribution Goes

🌿 Funding wildflower seed planting in Rainford to create pollinator-friendly spaces.
🐝 Maintaining and expanding our hives to support local bee populations.
📢 Educating the community about the importance of pollinators and rewilding.
🌍 Creating long-term environmental change by improving biodiversity.

Who Can Get Involved?

Our adoption scheme is open to businesses, schools, charities, local authorities, and individuals who want to make a difference. Even if you don’t have space to plant wildflowers yourself, you can still contribute to Rainford’s rewilding efforts through adoption!

Why Adopt?

✅ Support crucial rewilding efforts in Rainford
✅ Help protect and expand local bee populations
✅ Receive a certificate and updates on how your adoption is making an impact
✅ Perfect for individuals, schools, and businesses looking to give back to nature

We’re not just talking about change—we’re trying to make it happen. But we can’t do it alone. The more adoptions we receive, the more wildflowers we can plant, the more habitats we can restore, and the wilder Rainford can become!

 

If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.- Albert Einstein
