By landing on our site you are one step closer to nature.
Breathing Places was set up in 2005 to encourage people to do one thing to help nature on their doorstep.
Since then things have grown and grown...
At the last count, 478,300 people, 15 city councils and 27,140 school children have been involved in 1381 events, planting 71,279 trees and flowers, creating 6780 wildlife homes and transforming 1,409,235 square metres of land. We've also got together with 183 partners, including most of the UK's leading nature organisations.
So how can you make a difference? Well, you might decide to bury a bucket for beetles (it only takes a few minutes and the impact is enormous.) Or get together with friends or neighbours to transform a local wasteland
Whatever you want to do, everyone can get involved and every project makes a real difference. You don't need a lot of space or time or money either. Just the desire to create something positive and the will to make it happen.
As for help and support, that's where this website and our partners come in. Whether you want to create – or find – a breathing place near you, you've come to the right place. You'll find pots of project suggestions and plenty of inspirational case studies. And to help you get closer to nature in your area, have a play with our Event finder.
