Here’s a nice little project for the spring – plus the chance for an award and a plaque!
Devon Wildlife Trust is looking for people to take part in its free scheme that rewards entrants for making their gardens more wildlife-friendly. Entries can be made as an individual, a school, a community group or a business.
All entrants need is a space that they want to transform into a mini nature reserve. To qualify for a Wildlife Gardening Award, entrants have to complete at least 10 simple tasks from a list of wildlife-friendly actions. These include planting flowers for bees and butterflies, making a log pile for bugs and hedgehogs, leaving some grass long for wildflowers and insects, and avoiding peat and pesticides that harm the environment.
