Our mission
Make Britain's gardens and streets wilder.
Register your garden for a free wildlife habitat, funded by our partners and made from surplus timber.
We're building a network of gardens, streets and community spaces with homes for birds, bees and bats – made from waste materials.
Joining doesn't guarantee a habitat straight away. As programmes are funded, we match habitats with suitable spaces.

Turning waste into habitat
Perfectly useful materials shouldn't become waste just because they've reached the end of their original purpose. We give suitable surplus and waste materials from manufacturing and construction another life by turning them into thoughtfully designed homes for wildlife.
