Blackbird by Nigel Blake RSPB. The RSPB’s Homes for Wildlife is an exciting new activity, inspiring people to make a real difference for the wildlife that shares the open space closest to them – their garden. It aims to help a range of wildlife, including familiar birds that have seriously declined.
You can do as much, or as little, as you like. From a few potted plants on a balcony, to putting up a nesting box, to digging a pond and planting trees in a garden – everything will help. All we need to make it work is you.
You may remember participating in the ‘Homes fit for Birds’ pilot for this project in 2006. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took part for their help and support. Pictured above right: Fixing nest box to Scots pine tree, Andy Hay RSPB.
You can register for Homes for Wildlife on the RSPB website. Tell us about your garden and we will provide you with tailored wildlife–gardening advice and details of surveys you can take part in to tell us about the wildlife in your garden.

Imagine what we can achieve for wildlife with hundreds of thousands of gardens all doing their bit. With your help, we have the opportunity to help some of our best loved birds, including the house sparrow, starling and blackbird, as well as the butterflies, dragonflies, frogs and bats [to name just a few] living on our doorstep.
