Make your garden a wildlife haven
Make your garden a wildlife haven
Around 87% of UK households have a garden. That’s over 10 million acres, which is larger than all of Britain’s nature reserves combined! Just think of the nature we could attract to these spaces if we all made a change. Even a small increase in bee-friendly organic habitats can boost bee numbers by a third!
Why not try:
-
Letting your lawn grow a little wild - long grass provides a home for nesting butterflies and allows wildflowers to flourish, which provide nectar for bees and other pollinators
-
Saying no to pesticides
-
Making a hedgehog hole - small gaps cut into fences allow wildlife to pass from garden to garden
-
Adding boxes, baths and feeders to keep birds warm over winter
-
Making an insect hotel
Don't have a garden? Try planting in pots, windowsill growing or planting in your local community garden.
