Working with the public

Printer-friendly version

In order to change old mindsets, and to make people aware of the importance of maintaining the biodiversity of wild bees,  the aim of Urbanbees is to reach out to as many people as possible.  For each public event, the number of participants is estimated at the time of planning, and is updated as time goes by.
By the end of the five years, and thanks to the different events run by the programme, a large part of the inhabitants, children, politicians, and green space managers of Greater Lyon will have been exposed to our campaign about the importance of the conservation of wild bees.
