Our ‘urban’ green spaces include parks and woodlands, rivers, road verges, railway lines, old industrial ‘brownfield’ sites, gardens, allotments and even buildings. These are important ‘oases’ for wildlife in areas with little other nature value. Hedgehogs, birds and pollinating insects rely on our gardens for food, while wildflowers and small mammals thrive along our roads and railways - House Sparrows, Swifts, Swallows and bats live life in boxes we put up on trees and buildings. During the recent lockdowns many have come to value their local green spaces as a place to enjoy nature and recharge.
