Calling on all Residents and Businesses to help!
How can you help us as an individual or business? Keep your area outside your house or business litter free(remember-tourists walk around early morning viewing the area) and also look at the space outside your premises to see how it can be improved. Promote biodiversity in the area by planting the right plants and flowers.Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within flowers or carried from flower to flower by pollinating animals such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles, or other animals, or by the wind.
