In case you’ve missed it the RSPB are asking everyone to get involved and build nature a home where you live. Here in South Essex we are lucky enough to have an amazing team of wildlife volunteers who have built some fantastic homes for wildlife in the RSPB South Essex Wildlife Garden. We have everything from birdboxes to bug hotels, to ponds for frogs and woodpiles for hibernating reptiles. If you want to find out more about building homes for wildlife in your garden then why not visit us at the RSPB Wildlife Garden and Visitor Centre in South Essex or visit the Giving Nature a Home webpages at http://homes.rspb.org.uk/

Watch this space for regular updates from our Wildlife gardening team with some great ideas about how you can give nature a home on your back door. Can you imagine the difference we can make for nature if every single garden made space for wildlife? It’s gonna be amazing!!
