Team Wilder stories from your community
Team Wilder is a supportive network of people, organisations and groups, taking action for nature, sharing knowledge, resources and help. By creating space for nature in your community, both people and wildlife feel the benefits. Connecting to nature locally is relevant to everyone, in different ways.
Connect with nature locally: tidy up/improve local spaces through a litter pick, help at or create a community garden/allotment, seed swaps, local nature groups, encourage local wildlife friendly gardening and join them up to create corridors, volunteer, rewild part of your street, school or business etc.

A Wilder Avon matters to me because everyone should be able to experience wildlife close to home and not feel they have to travel out of the City.

Our spirits are raised when we are surrounded by green and colourful urban spaces that are buzzing with pollinating insects. We also owe it to future generations to protect and enhance these urban spaces.
