Attracting butterflies, birds and other beasties to the Living Garden
More than just a bird table

No.6 in a series of eight leaflets (1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.)

Many of us provide food or nestboxes for birds - but why should birds get all the attention? Extending this hospitality to other animals can be equally rewarding, and also make a real contribution to wildlife conservation.

There are really only two things that you will need to provide; -a steady supply of food, and suitable homes, where your visitors can breed or over winter However, the forms these requirements take vary from species to species ...!

This leaflet gives practical tips for attracting birds, butterflies, hedgehogs, moths, foxes, frogs, newts, bumblebees and other beasties to your garden.
