We all want to do our best for biodiversity but it can be hard to know where to begin. We want to help you get; make a pledge for biodiversity by doing one of the following:
Some examples of things you could try are:
- Tackle climate change; take the bus or train instead of a car, eat more low carbon meals, walk, cycle or scoot instead of driving, buy second hand instead of new, save energy at home.
- Act for wildlife; Leave your grass long - don't mow your lawn, cut a hedgehog hole in your fence, start composting, go peat free by only buying plants that aren't grown in peat compost.
- Experience nature; visit a local nature reserve, come to an event, go for a walk.
Tell your friends about your pledge to help nature and enter our competition.
The winner will receive a family ticket to visit Slimbridge wetland centre, which was kindly donated by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust.
