Schools and community groups on the Isle of Man have been given the tools to create flower strips to support pollinating insects as part of a drive by a conservation group.

The Make Space for Nature scheme by the Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT) encourages residents to transform outdoor spaces and make them “more wildlife-friendly”.

Sewn in five locations across the island, the flower beds have used a blend of seeds to ensure a “maximum benefit to wildlife”, the trust said.
