How to get involved

Many people first become aware of wildlife in their garden through their interest in gardening, and spotting the creatures share their outdoor space, and more than half of all gardeners now put out food for birds.

This website is a great starting point if you want to find out more about wildlife gardening and how you can get involved. Many local Wildlife Trusts and the web Royal Horticultural Society may also offer advice to help you get the most of your outdoor space.

If you live outside England, you may also be interested in these websites – web Scottish Natural Heritage’s Gardening for Biodiversity at Home, the web Countryside Council for Wales Plant for Wildlife scheme and web NIEA’s Wildlife Gardening factsheets.
