The Tree and Bee Corridor is a collaboration between Eastleigh Borough Council, Bishopstoke Parish Council and Fair Oak and Horton Heath Parish Council.   The Tree and Bee Corridor aims to connect existing areas of woodland and the biodiversity they contain by creating a patchwork of living stepping stones through the landscape.  This patchwork allows the movement, predominantly of insects, birds and mammals, between favourable areas of habitat by providing "service stations" for food and shelter along the way.

​

The planting sites are comprised of roadside verges to create a linear corridor, open spaces within residential areas, parks, cemeteries and green space in proposed development sites.  The stepping stones can take different forms, varying from a stacked planter in a shopping area, trees growing along a roadside with an understorey of wildflowers, edible tree gardens or tree gardens within residential areas.
