“Transforming your lawn into a habitat garden not only reduces maintenance & water usage but also creates a thriving ecosystem for pollinators, birds & beneficial insects. Choosing native plants fosters biodiversity, enhances soil health & contributes to a healthier environment” - Rewildingsuburbia

This is a guide to the plants most commonly found growing on walls in UK towns and cities.
What we do in our backyard has a huge impact on biodiversity - I shared my thoughts with Gretchen Carroll for the Kiwi Gardener magazine. Highlights - 'embrace the untidy' and 'pet peeves' 🌏🧪#yards #urbanbiodiversity#Ilovemessy#invasivespecies
Rosie's PhD paper on outcomes of community-led urban rat control on Auckland birds is out now! Less rats = more birds. Proximity to native veg patches helps too! More frequent rat control (check/servicing devices) improved outcomes. 🌏🧪🪹🐦#urbanbiodiversity #predatorcontrol#tamakimakaurau
Cities are increasingly recognised as important sites for biodiversity and essential for improving human-nature connections. However, urban areas are also hotspots for rats, which negatively impact bi...

A spectacular day yesterday for our first course from the Centre for UK Nature for #UrbanNatureProject#BiologicalRecording#UrbanBiodiversity#WildlifeGarden#IDTraining
Our paper is out - rather than simply adding 'more nature' to cities - we must emphasise place-specific nature ('level up' with native species!) to avoid negative impacts on biodiversity and ecological & cultural services #urbanbiodiversity#Indigenouspeople@aucklanduni.bsky.social
My morning drive through the ever-urbanising west of Melbourne featured yellow-tailed black cockatoos, kangaroos, and a sneaky fox. Scheduled reminder that cities can be full of nature if we let them - and there’s lots left to protect and promote #urbanbiodiversity
