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!

Hedgehogs are in trouble. They can travel up to 2 miles a night in search of food and a mate - but barriers around gardens make this hard, contributing to population declines. Linking gardens to create a network of hedgehog-friendly spaces can help.

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.

Snowdrops – aka ‘little sister of the snows’ – are beginning to emerge. These nectar-rich flowers can be a real lifeline for bumblebees and other pollinators waking up from hibernation during warm spells of winter weather.

Almost two billion items of plastic packaging are thrown away in the UK each week. Shampoo, body wash and liquid hand wash add to this plastic pile-up - so switching from bottles to bars is better for the environment. Eight plastic-free soap bars to try: littlegreenspace.org.uk/reviews/Natu...

Fruit trees benefit all sorts of wildlife, including bees, bats and birds. But around two thirds of UK orchards have been lost since 1960. Planting an apple tree in your garden or community can really help to boost biodiversity.

Peat isn't "just dirt"
It's an important natural resource in the fight against climate change, and the main component of the breathtaking peatlands that cover ~12% of the UK.
