Take action for wildlife!

Small actions make a big difference for wildlife

You can help wildlife in your local area whether you have a garden, a balcony or window box, or no outdoor space at all. You could help pollinators by building a bee hotel, help the birds by leaving out suitable food, or change the way you shop to reduce plastic waste.

Could you make space for nature?

Phil built a garden pond in 2019 to attract frogs and dragonflies. He didn't expect anything to happen quickly - but just a few years later it's a thriving spot for wildlife!

Even better, ponds don't need to be huge to be worthwhile. An old washing-up bowl, large plant pot, or upcycled sink could all become wildlife havens.
