A woman hopes to transform the UK's alleyways into "miniature wildlife corridors" after realising the "drab" lanes were negatively impacting her mental health.
Flora Beverley founded the Pollinator Pathways Project (PPP) in Bristol two years ago after a chronic illness left her unable to spend as much time in nature.
Working with a group of volunteers, they first began by tidying an alley in Knowle, south Bristol, clearing waste including drug paraphernalia, broken bottles and burnt mattresses and replacing them with murals, solar-powered street lighting and planters for flowers.
She said: "It is about funding communities, [so] they can create the area they need."
