What is Nature Street?

Maybe you want to help wildlife in your garden but don’t feel confident about what to do first? Or perhaps you don’t think that your small terraced garden can make a difference. Nature Street is a way to gain support from your neighbours and make the most of whatever outdoor space you have. Don’t think about your garden in isolation, think of what your whole street, cul-de-sac or block of flats can do together to help create a living, thriving landscape for the wildlife of Sussex.

We are always looking for ways to help create a living landscape, so that wildlife can travel more easily through Sussex. Creatures need to be able to move and react to changes in land use and climate that may otherwise leave them isolated and vulnerable. Nature Street is a project designed to inspire you to get together with you neighbours to create urban and suburban wildlife corridors and encourage more wildlife into gardens.

Let’s say you want to encourage more frogs into your street. Rita at number 17 could put in a small pond, whilst Steve a few doors down could build a bog garden. Meanwhile Helen, Sam and Luke nextdoor, who don’t have much space, could add a small stone pile in the corner of their garden for the frogs to overwinter in. If you all make sure there are gaps in the bottom of fences and walls to allow these small creatures to hop around, then you could have a thriving frog community in no time.

By creating some small, co-ordinated wildlife-friendly features you can all make a huge difference. Find out how to set up your own nature street today.
