My Wild City

Imagine a city where whole streets and communities get together to transform gardens and open spaces. From planting for pollinators in our gardens to influencing the space around us, we can all help to make a city better for people and wildlife.

With support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, from 2019 - 2023 we have worked with Bristol City Council to focus on eight of their Local Wildlife Sites across the city, making improvements for wildlife and visitors, and encouraging everyone to get involved in enjoying and caring for these special wild spaces.

Thanks to National Lottery Players, we’ve welcomed more people and more wildlife to these special sites in the city. From glow-worms to water voles, ponds to ancient trees, find out more about our discoveries, check out how to get involved going forwards, read inspirational stories and take action for nature with our wildlife-friendly land care tool kits.

A very special thank you to; the Wild City Action Team volunteers, also known as The Wildcats, ‘Friends of’ and community groups, and local residents who have dedicated much of their time to caring for these sites and flying the flag for nature in the city. Thank you.
