Biodiversity in the community

Empowering communities to create and enhance spaces for nature and biodiversity.

Biodiversity in the Community is a practical toolkit designed to help town and parish councils, community groups, volunteers and residents take action to support nature across Westmorland and Furness.

Biodiversity in the community (PDF , 6.6MB) is particularly useful for anyone looking to improve spaces for wildlife while also delivering wider benefits for local communities. 

It explains the benefits of biodiversity projects, provides guidance on getting started, and includes a wide range of ideas for creating and enhancing habitats in parks, green spaces and other community areas.
