Make Space for Wildlife
Do you want to protect and safeguard the future of our local
wildlife?
Over the last 40 years in the Vale of Glamorgan, urban areas
have expanded and other land uses have become more and more
intensive. As a result, habitats such as wildflower meadows,
hedgerows and ponds have been put under more and more pressure.
Make Space for Wildlife is a series of leaflets produced
for schools, Community and Town Councils and members of the public
to help you enhance, create and manage areas for wildlife.
Creating a local wildlife area can be as large or small scale as
you want and the Make Space for Wildlife leaflets are a great place
to start. Each one is jam packed with practical ideas from making
wildflower meadows to building bird boxes and homes for
hedgehogs.
The Council ecology team may be able to offer you help and
advice. Please contact Liz Stewart, assistant ecologist by
email: elstewart@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk
or tel: (01446) 704627.
