Make a home for wildlife

Today’s activity comes from the National Trust, who have created a ‘50 activities to do in your back garden‘. If you don’t have a garden, you could still go out and collect items to create your wildlife home at home, before placing it somewhere safe in a local park for wildlife to enjoy.

All sorts of animals need homes, so why not try making a bug hotel, a house for a hedgehog, or even a motel for a mouse? Think about the creature you’re making a home for – does it need to be warm, light, dry, dark, cold, or wet? Don’t despair if animals don’t move in straight away. Many will take time to get used to a new place, so check back each day or week to see if any new friends have moved in.
