My Mini Wild Space

Create a Wild Space in your own style, size and location to suit what you have available.

Small or large, it all helps!

A Wild Space is one where all pollinators and other invertebrates can complete their lifecycles. The area needs to enable them to feed, breed and shelter. There is no defined size, so long as the requirements are met - it is a Wild Space.

For example, butterflies are some of our most beautiful garden visitors and they also have important roles to play in plant pollination and the food chain.

A Wild Space should be free from pesticides. Where compost is used in a Wild Space, it should be peat free. Wild Spaces should be permanent - our goal is about making lasting change.

Some example locations where Wild Spaces can be classified are as follows. This is not a comprehensive list, but just enough to get you thinking about where you can create a Wild Space! Take your pick!

• A Patio or Balcony Pots
• A garden
• A community Woodland
• A School ground
• Even in the street or verges
• Village greens
• Allotment plots
