How to attract wildlife
Making small changes to your everyday life can make a huge difference to you and local wildlife. Let's get a little wilder. The total area of gardens is greater than the total of nature reserves. Small changes make a big difference collectively. The same principles can be applied to community spaces, businesses and school grounds.
Habitat creation is key
There are many small things you can to attract wildlife. whatever the size garden, community space or school ground. If you make space for nature, especially insects and bugs, then other species of wildlife will benefit. Wildlife needs breeding space, food, water and shelter.Â
Share what you do for nature to inspire and motivate others, plus link up activities to create green corridors.

No Mow May
Taking part in No Mow May or having wild patches in small areas of your garden creates important habitats for wildlife.
Real examples of what local people have found, the Really Wild Lockleaze project and the amazing benefits for you and wildlife from taking part.Â
You don't need a large garden space and No Mow May can be just one section or the edges of your lawn.
