The UK-wide Pollinator Monitoring Research Partnership was established with funding from Defra and the Scottish and Welsh Governments.
The total cost over the three-year project period from 2016 to 2019 was £282,720.
In-kind contributions from UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UK CEH) and other academic and voluntary organisations were also committed to the project, to a value of £201,804 (for example for staff time, data sharing, software). The monitoring work itself was co-ordinated by UK CEH.
A follow-up project is now underway, building on the outcomes from this first one. Further details are available on the GOV.UK website at:
