Britain's butterfly species have declined dramatically in the last 50 years. Human activity - namely intensive agriculture and deforestation - has led to the destruction of many important habitats such as ancient woodlands, heathland and flower-rich meadows.Creating a wildlife garden can be a great way of attracting beneficial insects, birds and mammals into your garden and help them to survive. Providing nesting boxes in your garden along side food and water will encourage them to stay in your garden.
Britain has over 250 native bee species and many of them now need our help in finding homes. Modern agricultural methods, fewer suitable nesting sites and fewer areas where wild flowers flourish, are some of the reasons why 25% of our native bee species are now endangered. On a more positive note, many of these bees are highly adaptable and will happily accept nest boxes placed in gardens.
