Whether feeding the birds, or sowing a wildflower patch, setting up wildlife areas in your school makes for happier, healthier and more creative children.
Hedges provide important shelter and protection for wildlife, particularly nesting birds and hibernating insects.

The best plants for bumblebees! Bees are important pollinating insects, but they are under threat. You can help them by planting bumblebee-friendly flowers.

Caring for a pet is a rewarding experience that doesn't have to cost the earth.
