01
Make a little room
Choose an achievable wildlife-friendly action for the space you have. It might be planting for pollinators, leaving a sheltered corner, adding water, or creating a route through a boundary.
How it works
A practical route to making space for wildlife.
Community Nature Reserve is designed to make community conservation understandable and doable. You do not need specialist knowledge or a large garden to begin.
02
Register your patch
Share a broad location and the type of space you manage. We do not ask for your full address, and detailed habitat information is optional.
03
Learn, share, and connect
Use our guidance to keep building habitat over time. When more people take action nearby, small places can become a more connected network for wildlife.
For every kind of space
Start with what is possible.
Balconies and window boxes
Small and larger gardens
Allotments and shared growing spaces
Schools, care settings and community land
