Wild streets of lockleaze: how to green your neighbourhood

Do you have a roadside verge or housing green near where you live? The Really Wild Lockleaze Project has been working with residents to team up and create nature habitat including wildflower meadows, hedgerows, fruit trees, herbs and berry bushes on council owned green space.

We are now releasing ‘Wild Streets of Lockleaze: How to green your neighbourhood’, a how-to guide to help others do the same! It will include a step by step process, dos and don'ts as well as how to monitor the many benefits this action brings for wildlife and people. Check it out below, or downloads the pdf here.

Wild Streets of Lockleaze was launched as part of the Wessex Citizen Science Showcase, organised by the Bristol Natural History Consortium. You can watch the recording of the launch below, and see our Community Ecologist Eric discuss the project, take you through the guide and answer some great audience questions.

 The launch event was part of the Wessex Citizen Science Showcase – organised by the Bristol Natural History Consortium in partnership with Natural England, funded by Defra’s Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) Programme).

Really Wild Lockleaze, a project by Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust, is part of the wider Community Climate Action Project coordinated by Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership, funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund and is a partnership project with Avon Wildlife Trust.
