Urban areas can play an important role in supporting wildlife, especially with historic loss of other habitat types.

Ian Boyd will give you some ideas on the sort of wildlife you can help, things you can do in your garden and how you could get together with your neighbours to make your local community wildlife-friendly.

We’ll then take a short stroll to an urban wildlife reserve in Newport and look at what can be achieved with some vision and hard work to make a neglected space into a beautiful breathing space in the middle of town.
