Wildlife Gardening Wales (North Wales) Case Study

North Wales Wildlife Trust

The Wildlife Gardening project will benefit thousands of people throughout North Wales. We will help fifteen community groups and schools create wildlife and people friendly community gardens. We will also give professional advice to all schools and community groups in North Wales requesting it. People of all ages, abilities and background will be able to take part creating these gardens.

Unused, unsightly areas will be transformed to give people somewhere to go with their children, grandparents and friends to relax and see wildlife close by.
We will also give people, especially children and teenagers, a chance to grow their own fruit and vegetables and get their hands dirty doing useful hands-on activities outdoors.

This project will help create strong community groups. It will give young people new skills which will be useful for future careers and work. It will also give people a unique opportunity to improve and care for their own local environment.

People will get to know eachother better and have fun while creating new meeting places which will benefit everyone.

Thank you for your support and help, and to all the people who voted for us!!!
