Red Kite Wildlife Warrior Award #2

We are proud to announce we have awarded our 2nd Red Kite Wildlife Warrior certificate to Guy and Mary Longley. They have satisfied all the criteria to prove that they are standing alongside nature by providing a rich and diverse ecosystem where wildlife can thrive.

“We’ve tried to let our garden become as friendly as possible to a variety of bird and insect life – so we set aside patches of ground which we leave more or less undisturbed, and have a variety oftrees and shrubs (mainly evergreen) to provide good shelter and food. There is a small pond whichteems with life and is covered with frogspawn every spring. There are several small oak trees
growing as a result of squirrels hiding acorns – our successors will have to decide what to do with them! We find the endless variety of colour and shape of the foliage, and the large number of birds which use the garden for food and shelter more than compensate for the lack of neat cultivated flower beds”

What we want to celebrate is that both of our certificates have been awarded to two very different gardens however, this is what makes each thrive. They are neighbouring properties which compliment eachother providing a rich and diverse patchwork where both plants and wildlife can flourish. A fine example of how everyone can make a small difference to build a bigger picture helping nature in our local areas recover.

Everyone has the power to make a difference.
