RESIDENTS are being urged to ‘pledge a patch’ to turn Redditch wild.
The call comes from Worcestershire Wildlife Trust to mark its 50th year of managing nature reserves and helping wildlife.
“Our 75+ nature reserves across Worcestershire are stepping stones in the landscape and we’re asking people to help to join the dots so that wildlife can move through our county,” said campaign organiser Sadie Carr Simons.
“Most of us have got a patch we can pledge to help wildlife – whether it’s filling a window box with nectar and pollen rich plants, screwing a bug box to the wall of our house or leaving a square of our lawn longer to leave the daisies for the bees.
“Wherever you live, we’d like your help in turning our county wild for wildlife.
“By dedicating an area of your garden, school, community or work place just for wildlife, you can really make a difference.”
