Do you want to part of a Wilder Southampton? Do you have an idea for transforming a space for nature?
We’re on a mission to create a Wilder Southampton, where wildlife is thriving and everyone benefits from a healthy environment. We want to see more wildlife friendly areas that are created and supported by the community - and we can help you to do it! Get in touch with us with your ideas.
Wilder Southampton is a partnership project between Southampton City Council and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. We are also supported by the National Lottery Heritage fund, as part of the nationwide Nextdoor Nature project.
