Every garden can make a difference. Let’s get behind more of these initiatives.

Did you know? Our gardens in Britain collectively cover a bigger surface area than all the UK's National Nature Reserves combined! That's a whole lot of space than can be used to help nature if we work together 🦋

Our free My Wild Garden guide is full of simple ways to make your garden or yard more wildlife-friendly, based around five key areas: food, water, shelter, management and connectivity.

Sad news. Please keep vigilant.

Urgent notice ‼️

Today we have had a suspected case of Squirrel Pox Virus.
Location at : MILLBECK

Please can we ask you good folks living at Millbeck to please empty all feeders and disinfect , please stop feeding for the present time!

Please let us know if you see sickly looking red squirrels?
SPV causes them to be very slow and unbalanced, open weeping sores around eyes, face and genitalia.
They will struggle moving , climbing or running away!

This is so sad and not a good start to the weekend!

To contact us please email on [email protected] or message us on fb or instagram.

Thank you

For the last few years, we've been leaving our garden as a place for both us, and nature. Minimal effort, maximum reward.
The brief when planting is that it has to suit our style and benefit the local wildlife. So 'No mow May' is a matter of course for us and this often rolls on into mid or late Summer.

Have a read or our latest blogpost about how we leave our garden for nature and see the results....

Some Summer volunteering needed. Contact your local Rivers Trust to help look after our river banks.

Himalayan balsam, recognisable by its pink bonnet-shaped flowers, is a common sight along waterways.
