Habitat

Hedgerow

Hedgerows are one of our most easily encountered wildlife habitats, found lining roads, railways and footpaths, bordering fields and gardens and on the coast.

Habitat

Seagrass

Meadows of seagrass spread across the seabed, their dense green leaves sheltering a wealth of wildlife including our two native species of seahorse.

Species

Grey wagtail

A breeding bird of fast-flowing, upland rivers, the grey wagtail can also be seen in lowland areas, farmyards and even towns in winter.

Action

How to make a coastal garden

Coastal gardening can be a challenge, but with the right plants in the right place, your garden and its wildlife visitors can thrive.

Species

Honeycomb worm

Ever spotted a honeycomb-like mound on the beach and wondered what it was? It's a reef built entirely by worms!

Habitat

Rocky habitat

Rocky habitats are some of the most natural and untouched places in the UK. Often high up in the hills and hard to reach, they are havens for some of our rarest wildlife.

Habitat

Upland acid grassland and rush pasture

These grasslands, occupying much of the UK's heavily-grazed upland landscape, are of greater cultural than wildlife interest, but remain a habitat to some scarce and declining species.
