As well as benefitting wildlife local air quality can be improved by planting trees, as leaves filter and remove many pollutants. A pleasant natural corner in which to take a break has also been proven to reduce stress.

Look around your site and check out any areas that could be improved both for you and wildlife. The corner of a car park or a bit of waste land, anywhere you could with a little effort provide food, water and shelter.

Getting started need not be a daunting task even if you are not a 'gardener'. Put up a bird table and in winter hang nut bags. Check out UK Safari for hints and tips on how to attract wildlife.
