Swiss Volunteers Restore Bee Habitat with UBS Helvetia Support
Vaugruz, France: Volunteers Restore Bee Habitat in Parc de la Pépinière A community project in Vaugruz, France, is working to restore a vital habitat for wild bees. Supported by UBS Helvetia, volunteers are renovating a discovery trail in Parc de la Pépinière. The project aims to provide bees with the necessary resources to thrive, including food sources and safe nesting areas. "Our goal is to bring the bees back to nature," explains André Dunand, President of Free The Bees, a key partner in the initiative. The project demonstrates the importance of human intervention to protect endangered bee populations. The renovated trail will also serve as an educational tool for visitors, teaching them about the needs of wild bees and how they can help. One volunteer commented, "I think it's important to give back, especially when you're young and have the energy to do so." The initiative provides a win-win situation, benefiting both the environment and the community. The UBS Helvetia partnership provides critical resources and broadens the project's reach, ensuring its long-term success. The project is a testament to the power of community action and corporate social responsibility in environmental conservation.
