Wildlife gardening

Gardens can play a crucial role in making our landscape more hospitable for wildlife. They comprise around 270,000 hectares of land in the UK - far more than nature reserves. If everyone made their gardens wildlife-friendly, this would form a colossal area for our precious wild species to thrive in. Whether you have a small terrace or courtyard or an expansive patch of land, there are easy ways for everyone to help wildlife in their patch. To get you started we've come up with a list of 15 things you can do to make your garden wildlife friendly!
