Naturalist Patrick Barkham wrote in the Guardian this week about the principles of rewilding – stepping back and allowing natural processes to occur, and encouraging wild plants and insects.
As the rise of herbicides and insecticides destroys aspects of nature, embracing these acts could be more necessary than ever – we’re interested in hearing what you are up to, whether in the city or the country and however small you think your efforts.
Maybe you’ve ditched concrete in your garden, allowed your lawn to grow wild or planted window boxes to attract insects? Are you involved in a project looking to improve public spaces? Have you seen an increased number of insects or other creatures due to your work?
All these questions and more are also being asked in June by the Wildlife Trusts, who are promoting an annual campaign called 30 Days Wild, asking participants to undertake “random acts of wildness” throughout the month.
