Human activity is having an increasing impact on our natural environment, affecting not only wildlife but also our own health and well-being. By engaging children and young people with biodiversity as the custodians of the future, we stand a better chance of protecting what we have and enhancing it so that it can thrive for generations to come.

You mission is to design a wildlife garden – your design can be created for anywhere you wish – your local community, your school, or home. It should be designed with wildlife in mind, considering the whole ecosystem: the habitats needed, and the food and water sources they rely on. Think about sustainability as part of your design – could you collect rainwater? What materials will you use?
