The Big Wildlife Garden is operated by Natural England (www.naturalengland.org.uk) the government’s statutory conservation advisor for England. The site recognises the fact that gardens represent an important area of natural habitat for many species, and that gardening in a wildlife friendly manner can considerably increase the diversity of plants and animals in every garden. The Big Wildlife Garden is free for anyone of any age to join and is open to individuals, schools or community groups.

Once you have registered your garden you can earn points for everything you do to encourage wildlife and track your progress towards our Bronze, Silver, Gold and Green award levels. You will also be able to share ideas and pictures with other members of the Garden and keep your own online wildlife diary.

All content on the site is fully monitored by Natural England before it is viewable by other web users.
