Islington Garden Wildlife Survey




Gardens make up approximately 25% of Islington’s total area and play a vital role in supporting our wildlife and our natural environment. They are a home and foraging place for many species and together act as essential green corridors as they allow wildlife to move from place to place.
 
Thank you for filling out this survey as it will help us:
·         find out what the variety of gardens are like in Islington
·         find out what wildlife visits our gardens and assess how best to help the wildlife that may be struggling.
·         discover what people are already doing to help wildlife in their gardens
 
All you need to do is complete this survey anytime between June and August and submit it by Friday 3 September 2010.
 
Results will be published on the council’s website in December 2010.
