Garden for life
Our gardens can be great for birds, insects and other animals. It’s easy to help wildlife to thrive in your garden, allotment or even window box. You can help by growing your own fruit and vegetables, planting wildlife- friendly flowers or by not clearing leaves and weeds so quickly.
What you do in your garden can help protect and improve biodiversity for your children, grandchildren and future generations.
Plants can be used to create havens for wildlife, and other actions can help, such as clearing up leaves and weeds later in the year, and leaving woodpiles over the winter. This can help attract a variety of wildlife all year round for you to enjoy.

Help with a wildlife survey
How healthy is biodiversity where you live? You can help us by getting involved in wildlife surveys and finding out more about your local area and its amazing biodiversity.
Wildlife surveys are essential to finding out how well our biodiversity is doing.
They’re a fun, easy and rewarding way for everyone (individuals, families, schools, groups) to get involved with biodiversity in your local area (even in your own garden).
