Clear about what is counted
We distinguish registrations from broader community reach, and avoid presenting modelled estimates as measured outcomes.
Our impact
Show the action. Be clear about the evidence.
We report registrations and any estimates separately. Where we use a number, we explain what it counts and where it comes from.
Gardens registered
Gardens registered: 31,460
This reported total has been provided by Community Nature Reserve. It is a participation count, not a measure of species abundance, carbon capture, or habitat condition.
What the count shows
Gardens taking part across the network.
A registered garden shows that someone has chosen to take part. Optional details about the space and its habitat features help us understand the kinds of actions people are planning or already taking.
We do not use a registration total alone to claim a fixed number of pollinators, species, square metres of habitat, or carbon savings. Those figures need a transparent method and appropriate data.
Reporting principles
How we report.
Useful local picture
Broad location and space type show where people are choosing to make more room for wildlife, without publishing full addresses.
Method before metrics
Where we publish environmental estimates, the method, inputs, date, and limitations should be available alongside the number.
