A Gift for Nature?
Here’s another gift idea. While we’re busy making and buying Christmas gifts for our friends and families why not think about making a Gift for Nature? After all, Nature needs all the help we can give it just now. Here are a few ideas:
· Be nice to a hedgehog. Install a winter home or make sure you have holes in your fence that allows them to move around. And provide food for them through the winter: encourage insects in your garden or offer a meat-based top-up
· Start a list of every living animal and plant in your garden. You’ll be amazed. Get children involved
· Make a promise that a nectar-giving plant will be in flower in your garden each month next year
· Make a monthly gift to a wildlife charity
· Put a bird nest box on your Christmas list (and put it up promptly in time for early inspection by potential tenants)
· As families gather together, ask your children and grandchildren what they’d like you to do to ensure they can enjoy Nature when they grow up (and how they can help).
