Rewilding projects don't have to be done on a large scale. Small spaces such as gardens can also be made wilder to benefit nature - and simple actions, like leaving some grass to grow long, can really boost biodiversity.

Bitterns are BOOMING! 💚
283 males were recorded booming in 2024 - a 20% rise on 2023 and the biggest jump since monitoring began.
Once extinct as breeding birds in the UK, they're making an incredible recovery.
