Instructions

Sharing is caring

Maximise the impact of your wildlife gardening and inspire others to help the nature on their doorstep by sharing what you’re up to. Don’t keep your good work a secret!

Whether you have a chat to your neighbours over the fence, show off your garden to friends and family or share photos on social media, it all helps to encourage more people to help the wildlife in their garden.

Be part of the community

Once you have transformed your outdoor space, you could share your skills with community gardening initiatives, or even start your own.

How young conservationists can help

You could put on a show, make a display, even get in the news! Why not make your friends and family badges with a message to encourage people to save nature? Or how about sharing the message with your classmates at 'show and tell', or using a school project to show your love of nature and why it needs help?
