Garden Wildlife

We can often harm our environment without even realising it. Using Chemicals to rid the garden of weeds or insects will harm innocent species too so it is far better to rely on natural methods to protect our plants and flowers and providing homes for some animals can help us.

Frog and toad houses or a hedgehog house will attract creatures who will feed on slugs and insects that damage your garden - don't be tempted to feed a hedgehog bread and milk though as contrary to popular belief it is very bad for them.

Fertilizers and lawn feed can also be damaging too wildlife so try using natural alternatives. If manure is in short supply, consider a wormery. Wormeries allow you to recycle your food waste and turn it into some of nature's finest fertilizer.

For those keen on observing wildlife, technology now means we can watch some of nature's most delicate moments without disturbing the wildlife. Camera nesting boxes are one example and can provide some fascinating and education footage. Insect study centres are another great way of educating and learning more about nature and conservation.

We hope this guide has given you some conservation ideas but if you wish to know more about our conservation products and innovations please contact us.
