In partnership with the Vancouver Park Board and City of Vancouver, EYA has received funding from Vancouver Foundation, Canadian Wildlife Federation, and the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for the expansion of the mason bee project. With volunteer 'bee stewards', the project's main objective is to establish 50 mason bee 'highrises' and relevant garden plantings in neighbourhood parks and public spaces across the City of Vancouver.
UPDATE: All of our bee condos and highrises have been distributed and are now installed across the city...contact us to see if there is one in your neighbourhood!
