Gardens often have multiple uses from somewhere to relax, hang washing and have BBQs, to a football pitch or adventure playground for your children. Your garden is a personal place to express your own individual style and tastes, and gardening for wildlife doesn't need to compromise this.
Every garden will have some wildlife in it. These twelve Nature Street Principles are designed to make the most of this and help you make space for wildlife in the way you want. They can be applied to any outdoor space, no matter the size, location or other uses. Please have a look through and think about what you can do to help conserve the wildlife of Sussex:
