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, farming has become more intensive and urban areas have expanded. As a result, habitats such as meadows, hedgerows and ponds have been significantly reduced.

 

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 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 project has now ended by the ecology team may still be able to offer help and advice. Please contact Richard May, assistant ecologist by email: rimay@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk or tel: (01446) 704855.

 

You can print off your own copies by downloading the Make Space for Wildlife (MSW) leaflets (in PDF format).
