Natural England launches “virtual nature reserve” linking the country’s gardens and open spaces
England’s newest wildlife reserve - the Big Wildlife Garden – is ready for exploration!
Launched today (24/09/09) this innovative web site creates an online network of gardens and open spaces and encourages people of all ages to discover how to attract more wildlife into their gardens.
As part of the Big Wildlife Garden the search is on for England’s best school wildlife garden. Schools have until July 2010 to make as many improvements as possible in the school’s green space/garden to qualify for the Green Award level. Children can create a wildflower meadow, build a pond and install nests for bumble bees – whatever it takes to collect enough points!
