The Wildlife Gardening Forum works to help more people appreciate how important gardens are for wildlife. Hopefully, this will help people manage their gardens better for wildlife, alongside their other gardening aims, so it would be great if you find this site useful and apply your new knowledge. Keep a close look on what you find in your gardenand let us know if things go wel - or if you have problems.

 

 

 

Please tell your friends and neighbours about wildlife in gardens, and introduce them to this site. The more people understand "how gardens work", the better our urban wildlife will be.  The more people appreciate the importance of gardens, the more likely the topic is to rise up to the level of government awareness, at national as well as local level.

 

 

 

Another way to help is by joining the Forum. There is no cost, but as well as receiving news and conference invitations, the more people who are members, the more notice decision-makers will have to take of what we are saying. You can also join our flourishing tTwitter and Facebook community, and post every-day news and pictures of what you find

We we soon be calling for volunteer help to assist with projects, conferences and campaigning.  We are always keen to hear from people with suitable experience to serve for a while as Trustees.   The Forum is entirely volunteer-run and has no paid staff, so being a Trustee can be very hands-on and exciting.
