RESTORE / BIODIVERSITY & HABITAT
More life in the
spaces around us.
Ecological restoration is not simply planting trees. Sometimes the best first step is to protect what is already growing.
LIVING SYSTEMS / HEALTHICAL01 / RESTORE WITH PURPOSE
The right care for the right place.
Start with habitat value, local ecology and realistic aftercare. The best intervention depends on what is already there.
Living boundaries
Mixed, suitable hedges can provide shelter, nectar, berries and habitat connections.

Ponds & wetlands
A small, safe, fish-free wildlife pond can support a surprising range of life.
ExploreTrees & natural renewal
Right tree, right place — or allow valuable habitat to regenerate naturally.

BIODIVERSITY / CONNECTED HABITATS
Make space for
life to return.
A hedgerow is food, shelter and a corridor. A pond can offer a miniature wetland. Restoration works best when we look beyond individual species and care for the whole habitat.
Explore habitat care02 / PRACTICAL RESTORATION
Four useful places to start.
Choose a suitable, safe action and make a plan to maintain it.
Leave a little wild
Retain appropriate leaves, stems or deadwood as shelter for decomposers and insects.
Make a dead hedge
Use suitable woody prunings to create a managed, stable habitat structure.
Grow the right plants
Choose locally appropriate species with space to mature, not just whatever is easiest to buy.
Connect green spaces
Cooperate with neighbours and groups to support wildlife movement where practical.

starts somewhere.
Start with the space, time and resources you already have.
