NOW OPEN UNTIL 31 JULY 2022!
Enter your garden for a free Wild About Gardens Award 2022 and you will be making space for wildlife and helping us understand how local people are supporting wildlife, biodiversity and sustainability
WHAT ARE THE WAGAS?
The WAGAs are a free to enter local awards scheme to encourage people to put wildlife at the heart of their gardening.
WHO CAN ENTER?
Anyone living in Maidenhead or surrounding areas with an outdoor space can enter the awards and do their bit for nature. Garden categories now include balconies and courtyards, allotments, communal gardens (including schools, businesses or shared spaces) and private gardens of any size.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
Have a look at our checklist of 24 simple wildlife-friendly garden features – you may have some of these in your outdoor space already or could easily add one or two this year. When you’re ready, complete the free entry form
Depending on how many features your outdoor space has, you could receive a bronze, silver or gold award for your space and know you are helping wildlife to thrive.
Every green space makes a difference for wildlife, providing food, shelter and a safe corridor for wildlife through our area. Your entry will help us understand where these ‘green corridors’ are and where wildlife needs more help.
Our checklist is an easy way to find the best steps to make your garden wildlife-friendly. It's also the basis for our Wild About Gardens Awards. Click here to see the checklist
