Winter


	Winter may seem like a quiet time for wildlife but those animals that are out and about at this time of year can sometimes do with a helping hand.


Put up a bird box – ready for spring or as a winter roost


Feed the birds – and help them out particularly during cold weather


Make a mammal table – somewhere to feed during the lean months


Leave a wild corner – resist the temptation to tidy up too much


Plant a hanging basket – for winter greenery and shelter for insects


Feed mammals – give animals a free meal during harsh weather


Get an allotment – if you don't have a garden of your own


Make a wood pile – to encourage small animals to the garden
