Wildlife Gardening
What is wildlife gardening?
The Ecology Co-operation teach school children how to identify many of Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ creatures that call our ‘Wildlife Gardensâ€� home and explain why such environments must be maintained and managed to ensure those creatures continue to have a home in years to come.
How we can help
Designed to encourage school children to engage with Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ir outdoor environment, The Ecology Co-op provides educational lessons about Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ benefits our habitats provide for wildlife.
Some of our services offer Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ opportunity for Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ children to get involved with creating Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ habitats and learning as Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨y build. We offer a friendly but safe environment where children can build, play and learn about Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ir natural environment and Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ animals and insects that come with it.
Features and Services provided:
Pond creation &/or maintenance of existing ponds
Wildflower meadow creation
Bird boxes (with or without cameras)
Bat boxes
Bug hotels
Reptile hibernacula
All services include an educational lesson during or after to explain about Å·²©ÌåÓýƽ̨ feature being created, what animals it will attract (including live examples where possible), as well as how and why it may need to be managed.
