Bird feeders and baths

Set up bird feeders and bird baths in your yard to provide food and water for birds, especially during hot weather when natural sources may be scarce.

Butterfly gardens

Plant flowers that attract butterflies and provide nectar for them to feed on. Butterflies play a crucial role in pollination.

Provide shelter

Create shelters or habitats for small animals like hedgehogs, frogs, and toads by leaving piles of leaves or branches in a quiet corner of your yard.

Avoid pesticides

Minimise or eliminate the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides in your yard to protect insects, birds, and other wildlife.

Minimise plastic use

Reduce your consumption of single-use plastics to prevent them from ending up in the environment, where they can harm wildlife through ingestion or entanglement.

Provide water

Leave out bowls of fresh water for wildlife, such as birds, squirrels, and other small animals, especially during hot weather when natural water sources may dry up.
