The Wilder Gardening group (originally the Gardening for Wildlife group) was formed to provide support for those already enjoying wildlife gardening as well as to encourage others. Wilder Gardening Champions are volunteers who will happily visit to give advice and guidance on how to create, develop or improve your wildlife garden. We also give talks to gardening and other related groups on any topics associated with wildlife gardening. We have been involved in helping schools develop their grounds to increase biodiversity and maximise the learning potential for the children. We organise a newsletter and occasional events for all our group members.

It won't have escaped your notice that the diminishing quality of our waters - both around our coastline and inland has been hitting news headlines recently. From water companies being fined for discharging raw sewage, the changing status of a SSSI, to last week's news that the government would be doubling its funding to support farmers to reduce water and air pollution from their land. It's been too long coming, but are we now finally waking up to the water quality problem?
