'The pandemic changed everything for the estate as people had more time to litter pick, listen to the birds, watch spring flowers grow and plant their own food'
A nice story, and it would be a generous gesture to allow it ot be shared so others can benefit from the ideas. I feel rather envious of the writer because I live in a terraced house with no garden. The only 'wildlife' I see are the neighbourhood cats!
Years ago, I used to be woken up very early on spring and summer mornings by the dawn chorus, but that has disappeared along with the biannual migrations of flocks of geese that used to go directly over our house.
That was a good read. Are there any organisations that can advise on rewilding? We have 450 flats and I’ve tried to get help and advice on what to plant but have not had much success
What a wonderful story, It shouldn't be just for subscribers - it should be out there inspiring everyone! I was going to refer to it on my Twitter account but realise it's not accessible.
Hey Pam - a few members have asked the same thing, so we've unlocked it and will send it to non-members too soon, so the great idea can spread! Thanks for the suggestion. We are happy to do this once in a while when members ask.
Haha, thanks Pam. Look once in a while we unlock a members' story and publish it publicly, so we will do that with this one if a few other members agree they want it share-able.
Love this piece, yes it should be shared so other areas can benefit from ideas.
Ok, done!

Since a few of you asked, we've unlocked it. Thanks Elaine.
