The colder months can be a tough time for wildlife, food is scarce and hibernators are looking for shelter. That's why we’ve put together our top tips for maintaining your garden for wildlife…

Help wildlife in hot weather and lend a helping hand. Keep your watering stations topped up with water, and let some of your garden grow wild to provide shade for animals.

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

Planting herbs will attract important pollinators into your garden, which will, in turn, attract birds and small mammals looking for a meal.

Whether feeding the birds, or sowing a wildflower patch, setting up wildlife areas in your school makes for happier, healthier and more creative children.
