Wildlife Gardening Tips
1. Let the grass grow
One of the simplest things you can do is stop mowing so often, cutting or scything it a few times a year, and/or leave a wild patch. This offers birds and insects flowers and seedheads that change weekly. Wildlife needs this variety to thrive. If this feels too radical, why not start with No Mow May?
2. Reduce tidying!
Dead branches, piles of leaves, logs and rocks all provide a habitat for insects and hedgehogs, or food for beetle larvae.
3. Give up the chemicals
One reason behind the massive loss of wildlife in our countryside is the increasing use of pesticides and herbicides. Swap fertilisers for an organic seaweed feed. Or make your own compost heap, which also provides a home for all manner of creatures.
4. See ‘weeds’ in a new light
Weeds provide a source of nectar, seeds, shelter and nest sites for insects, birds and mammals. E.g. nettles and ivy give butterflies a place to lay their eggs, and thick leaves provide habitat for birds.
5. Hedgehog highways
Some species need access to more than just one garden to survive. If you have continuous panel fencing, you can help by cutting a small hole or excavating a tunnel underneath near a corner.
