Join the Mammal Society for an inspiring online mini symposium exploring how our gardens can become havens for wildlife. Whether you have a large garden, or a small patch, there are simple ways we can all help support the mammals that live alongside us.
Over the course of the afternoon, our speakers will share practical tips, ecological insights, and real-world examples of how to make gardens friendlier for mammals — from hedgehogs to bats and beyond.
Programme Highlights:
- Mammals in Your Garden — Why They Need Help
- General Principles of Wildlife Gardening
- Species Deep Dive: Hedgehogs in the Garden
- Man-Made / Artificial Structures for Mammals
- Plus a closing Q&A session with our speakers.
This event is perfect for anyone interested in wildlife gardening - from seasoned gardeners to complete beginners. You’ll leave with practical ideas to try at home and a better understanding of why our gardens are so important for mammal conservation.
