Hedges provide important shelter and protection for wildlife, particularly nesting birds and hibernating insects.

Surfaced spaces needn't exclude wildlife! Gravel can often be the most wildlife-friendly solution for a particular area.

Woody shrubs and climbers provide food for wildlife, including berries, fruits, seeds, nuts leaves and nectar-rich flowers. So why not plant a shrub garden and see who comes to visit?

Few of us can contemplate having a wood in our back gardens, but just a few metres is enough to establish this mini-habitat!
