Helping Local Wildlife Survive and Thrive
Who says we do not work hard! Volunteers working on the pond at the Wildlife Allotment, Staveley Road. The allotment will have different areas that will be attractive to different animals. A variety of habitats is good for boidiversity. When finished, we hope people will visit and take away ideas for their own green spaces!
(Thanks to Chiswick Horticultural and Allotment Society and Hounslow Council Thriving Community Grant for help in making this wildlife allotment a reality)
Green spaces are important for our own health also those of the animals around us. Many species are now vulnerable and yet can adapt well to living in urban environments. However, they need our help!
Written by Joanne Gilbert, our Founder this is a children's book with lovely illustrations, a lovely story with an educational element explaining what hedgehogs need from us to help them survive. £6.99 plus postage and packaging. £2.00 goes to our work at WildChswick.

WE HAVE HEDGEHOGS IN CHSWICK AND THEY NEED OUR HELP TO SURVIVE!
One of the best actions you can take to help them is to put a small 13cm hole in your fence or wall to give them access to your garden and others. We will do this for you!
SWIFTS ARE NOW ON THE RED LIST, VULNERABLE TO LOCAL EXTINCTION
STARTNG JANUARY 2023 WE WANT TO START PUTTING UP SWIFT BOXES AROUND AREAS OF CHISWICK AND TRACK THEIR NEST SITES.
We are a community-based not-for-profit organisation with the aim of increasing awareness of the wildlife around Chiswick.
We also conduct research and implement ways to help vulnerable species.
We visit schools and talk about wildife and host experts regularly to talk about wildlife.
We work with many like-minded groups in the area.
We help improve habitats by drilling hedgehog highways, advising on wildlife gardening, installing swift boxes and making wildlife areas.
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
