38. Wildlifeforever.net - Gardening For Wildlife Conservation This is the reason why gardening for wildlife, wild flowers, nature and conservation is so important and even vital for some species http://www.wildlifeforever.net/

Home PROJECT Project Food Water Shelter ... News IMAGES Gallery Your Pics Wildlife Trips MISC Photography Fun Contact Links s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer) It is cool to care for nature Birds, bees, butterflies and wild flowers are rapidly disappearing from our countryside. Some farmers have been tempted by Government policies into uprooting hedges, abandoning stubbles, and using ever more effective insecticides and herbicides. Intensive farming has done untold damage to our countryside and wildlife. The wildflowers of our youth have disappeared, and with them the seeds and insects on which the birds depend. The ploughing of winter stubbles has deprived the birds of vital food. Rough headlands and unsprayed pastures are a thing of the past. This is the reason why gardening for wildlife, wild flowers, nature and conservation is so important and even vital for some species Our gardens have become the chief refuge for the wildlife that can adapt. Owls, foxes and even badgers have moved into the towns. It is up to us to provide them with their basic needs. Anyone with a garden, a field or an orchard, however large or small, can come to the rescue by caring for it in a wildlife-friendly way. However all credit is due to those who do farm their land in an environmently acceptable manner and go to great lengths to make sure that their wildlife and wild flowers thrive.

39. Wild Flowers Wildflower gardening. The good news is that everyone can help conserve our wildflowers not only by protecting them in their natural surroundings, http://www.wildlifetrust.org.uk/facts/flowers.htm

Where have all the flowers gone? More and more people are growing up without ever having the chance to see the wildflowers which older generations once took for granted. In fact, most of the British wild plants that have become locally extinct have done so in the last 40 years, well within living memory. There are many reasons - changes in the way we farm, the disappearance of 'waste' ground, woodland, hedgerows and roadside verges, even changes in the way we garden. Threats to wildflowers One of the major threats to wildflowers is the change in the way we farm. The demand for low cost food means that farmers are under pressure to farm as cost-effectively as possible. This means intensive use of the land, with bigger fields, fewer hedges, less 'wild' places, and more effective control of weeds - which in fact are of often wildflowers. In the past, an important part of the yearly farming cycle was the use of hay meadows. Fields of grasses and other plants were left to grow throughout the summer, and then cut and dried late in the season as winter food for livestock. Today, the use of artificial feedstuffs has meant less use of hay and fewer meadows .We lose up to 10% of our hay meadows every year. Nowadays, even the gardens of our homes are used differently. Cottage gardens were once crammed with plants chosen not just for decoration, but for their ability to provide medicines, food, dyes or nectar for honey.
