By providing and maintaining habitats and with healthy food webs we will encourage biodiversity.
By linking various habitats together we will provide highways for nature to help prevent inbreeding and allow animals to forage over larger areas.
By creating new wild spaces wildlife populations can expand and thrive.
By putting people in touch with nature we will improve the lives of the people in the area.

Create pondsPonds that are free from fish will quickly become well populated with bugs and amphibians which in-turn become food for other animals |
Link habitats By creating wildlife passages such as "hedgehog highways" through gardens, or "Wildlife Corridors" linking patches of woodland or allotments and gardens animal populations can expand into other areas and overall population numbers can increase. |
Maintain FoodwebsRestore or create foodwebs:
Put out food for birds and hedgehogs in your gardens. Put any bugs slugs and snails that you find in the vegetable patch into a wild area in your garden or allotment - they will form part of a food web and encourage natural predators (including hedgehogs) into the area. The increased number of predators in an area will help control the pests naturally |
