Invite Nature In: Welcoming Birds to Thrive in your Garden

---

Learn how to make your garden an inviting place for birds and other wildlife.
 
Gardens are a vital space for the conservation of wildlife. Add together all the gardens in Britain, and you'll have an area greater than that occupied by the county of Suffolk, making our gardens an important habitat at a national level.
 
With a focus on providing nesting spaces for birds, we will look at how we can provide everything garden birds need for the best chance to raise their young, along with spaces for other wildlife.

• Nest Boxes
• Plants for nesting cover
• Natural food sources
• Best times to tidy the garden
• Inviting invertebrates
• Monitoring wildlife for conservation

Tutor: Hazel McCambridge from the British Trust of Ornithology (BTO)
