Update – 29 April 2021

This week, Dr Lucia Wuersch  lecturer in the School of Management and Marketing at Charles Sturt University, provides an update on the project. Lisa Mclean spoke to Lucia about the garden and the project and started off by asking what’s happening with the project in the last two weeks.

Did you know that pollinators are connected to one in three bites of what you eat?

And that they are super important for soil and water health?

And that they’re the basis of the ecosystem and biodiversity?

There is a general decline of pollinators around the world and in Australia. It’s not just bees, its birds, butterflies and other pollinators. We need to act urgently to address the decline!

A team within the School of Management & Marketing secured a Sustainability at Charles Sturt Grant to create a B&B (Bed & Breakfast for birds, bees, butterflies and biodiversity) on the Bathurst Campus.

This pollinator garden will provide much needed rest and revival for pollinators who are experiencing alarming population declines.
