Breathing Places is a major BBC Learning campaign all about inspiring and motivating you to create and care for nature-friendly green spaces where you live. The Wildlife Trusts fully support this ambition, and are working with Breathing Places to help encourage everyone to get closer to nature, wherever you live.

Get out more

For city dwellers it can sometimes feel especially difficult to find room to breathe, but in fact wildlife and wild spaces can thrive in the most surprising places. We want to help you to find those breathing places – whether it is in your back yard, your community garden, your local park or a London Wildlife Trust nature reserve. London is a living, breathing and inspiring city – go on, get out more and discover how wild London can be!

Do one thing

Why not get your hands dirty this summer and do one thing for nature? Everyone has the potential to make a real difference. From sprucing up your local green patch so it’s wildlife friendly to volunteering on a conservation project, doing something for nature is not only vitally important, it’s also fun.

Visit the BBC Breathing Places website for stacks of ideas of how you can do something for nature.
