Wildlife Gardening
Gardens are a very important haven for
wildlife in urban areas. Even the smallest garden, if well planned
can attract a variety of wildlife. The simplest steps we take to
enhance them for wildlife can make a big difference.
Gardens are good for health
and happiness; a place to relax, play and get close to
nature.
The Wildlife Friendly Award Scheme
is a way to recognise your hard work in encouraging wildlife into
your garden.
It may even give you a few more inspirational ideas along the
way.
Choose from a selection of Spotters Guides
to help you identify species in your garden
We have been successful in securing
funding from LEADER for a wildlife gardening project called
'Gardens Go Wild'.
The Central Warwickshire Villages
LEADER programme aims to support a programme of actions that bring
people together in communities in the rural parishes of Warwick
District and Rugby Borough.
The Gardens Go Wild project aims are to
encourage more people to consider wildlife in their gardens,
allotments and community green spaces. We will be providing support
and information, and rewarding villages for the positive steps they
take to improve their green spaces for wildlife.
Free
Activities as part of the project will include:
Awards Events for villages with wildlife gardens/green spaces,
information packs, wildlife gardening and allotments talks, a
bi-monthly newsletter, community planting events, opportunities for
young people to assist older people with improving and maintaining
local community green spaces, sessions in school assemblies and
after school clubs to talk about wildlife gardening.
f you would like more information about the
project please go to www.gardensgowild.co.uk
Visit the "Big Wildlife
Garden" website, where you will find a valuable source of
information and encouragement about wildlife gardening.
It also allows you to share your
experience, build up logs of observations, and gain
awards/accreditation as you put more wildlife-friendly features
into your garden.
