Bumblebee on an ox-eye daisy

Comma butterfly on lavender

Foxgloves growing in a garden

Brimstone butterfly on dandelion flower

Growing native plants can really boost biodiversity. The best way to help all sorts of wildlife is to create densely planted, nectar-rich spaces, with plenty of native plants – but it's okay to include some non-native garden favourites, too!

Bumblebee on apple blossom

Growing an apple tree or two could help bumblebees, butterflies, birds and bats - orchards and fruit trees are fantastic for biodiversity! Need help choosing a variety? We’ve put together some suggestions:

Two yellow and dark green kitchen sponges

Kitchen sponges like these release microplastics that end up in the sea – harming marine environments and the animals that live there. And they can't be recycled, so remain in landfill for hundreds of years. For eco-friendly sponges see: littlegreenspace.org.uk/reviews/seep...

Peacock butterfly on hemp agrimony flower

In February, peacock and small tortoiseshell butterflies can often be seen on sunny days. They lay their eggs on nettles, a vital source of food for the caterpillars. In fact, a nettle patch can support 40+ species of insects – so please them grow!

Frog in a pond

Two thirds of all freshwater species are supported by ponds, but the number of ponds in the UK plummeted in the 20th century. So garden ponds are vital for biodiversity - and creating one could help frogs, toads, dragonflies, bats, hedgehogs, swifts…

A Eurasian Curlew stands alert in rough grassland dotted with white seed heads, its long, downcurved bill clearly visible as it scans its surroundings. A species of peatlands and wetlands, the Curlew is shown in habitat typical of the wild places at risk from weakened nature protections.

URGENT: our most precious wild places need your voice. ‼️

The Prime Minister is considering weakening the laws that protect nature.

Estuaries. Peatlands. National Parks. The places & species we love are in the firing line again.

All on the false assumption this will speed up nuclear projects.

The Seep ones last for a really, really long time and when they start falling apart you cut them up and put them in the compost. I'll never go back.

Bumblebee on a yellow dandelion flower

Could you grow a bumblebee’s breakfast? When insects emerge from hibernation in February and March they’ll be looking for something to eat – so growing plants that produce nectar-rich flowers in early spring really helps.

Hoverfly on orange calendula flower

Instead of using chemicals, attract beneficial insects like hoverflies to keep aphids and whiteflies in check. Nectar-rich planting, wildflowers and areas of long grass will bring beneficial insects into your garden.

Let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insect species, and are a great early season food source for pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies. No need to mow and please don't use weedkiller!

Bag of plastic waste collected from a beach

Around 90 billion pieces of plastic are thrown away in the UK every year. This plastic pollution is a global problem that needs tackling urgently – and we can all help by reducing single-use plastics.

Liverwort in the woods.

These are some of the oldest terrestrial plants on Earth, with fossil evidence indicating they were among the first organisms to colonize land around 475 million years ago. Try wrapping your head around that.
