From buzzing bees to fluttering butterflies, pollinators are the unsung heroes of Rowntree Park. Discover more on a fun and engaging trail presented by the Friends of Rowntree Park.
The trail is suitable for all ages, the trail features the work of local artist Emma Feneley alongside information.
Trail leaflets can be collected from the York Explore cafe in Rowntree Park for just £1.25 – please leave cash in the tin or scan the QR code by the leaflets to pay online.
Our volunteer gardeners look after several areas of the park (see the map below) and they plant for flood resilience and to help biodiversity. A range of pollinators are spotted in Rowntree Park, and you can see some of the finds, and record your own, using INaturalist App. By doing so you help us build up a clearer picture of the types of pollinators found in the park and where.
The photographs below shows some of the pollinators spotted in the park over the last couple of years.
