Every space can make a difference

It's no secret that the natural world is under threat. Factors like intensive agriculture, urbanisation and the effects of climate change have left our wild spaces fragmented, isolating the wildlife that calls them home and leading to significant declines in many UK species. However, the good news is that we can all make a difference, no matter how big or small our outdoor spaces are!

By taking a few small actions in your garden, yard or balcony, you can create a safe space for wildlife, acting as a crucial stepping stone between larger green spaces. Even better, your garden will soon be teeming with buzzing bees, birdsong and butterflies for you to spot.
