"When
daisies pied and violets blue,
And lady smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue,
Do paint the meadows with delight"William Shakespeare,
Love's Labours Lost (c 1598)
In Shakespeare's day, nature was all
around and everyone knew about wildlife. Today our growing population has changed most of the land to provide more
houses, more roads, more industry. Even the fields have been changed to produce more food,
using fertilisers and pesticides.
These changes have destroyed many vital habitats needed for wildlife
to survive.
Not all has been lost, however, and with your help more could be
saved.
Wildlife in towns and cities...
