The Reading Wildlife in Gardens Awards scheme is an initiative to enhance local biodiversity by creating more habitats for wildlife in Reading.

Could your garden be a haven for wildlife? If you live in the Reading area and have access to any outdoor space, then you can help create spaces for wildlife. Urban green spaces can contribute to the functioning of an ecological network by providing ‘stepping stone’ connections between core patches. 

No matter the size of your garden, you are eligible to join in! No space is too small, whether you have a garden, allotment, shared green space, balcony, or window box, you can apply for an award to recognise your commitment to Reading’s biodiversity and inspire others.

The award scheme recognises positive change to support wildlife by incorporating simple features in your garden. Take a look at our checklist.
