With help from volunteers we've been able to turn another small patch of land into a local space for nature. By planting a mixed hawthorn & hazel hedge, 2 crab apples & a yew tree, and adding hedgehog and bird boxes we hope to encourage more wildlife to make these spaces home🌳🦔

Did you know…? Ditching pesticides & slug pellets in your garden could really benefit #hedgehogs? Not only can these harm #hedgehogs but also damage their food chain. 🦔 🐛 🪲🌿 Avoid pesticides & try organic methods instead! buff.ly/3Mv2rco #FridayFact
