- This discussion forum is primarily intended for the sharing of knowledge, ideas and experiences regarding wild gardening.
- Given the dramatic decline in wildlife populations in the UK and elsewhere over the past several decades, it is becoming urgent to try and do something to reverse this.
- While everyone is welcome on this forum, part of the reason for its existence is as an experiment in localism. In other words, an attempt to move away from the global mindset of the internet to focus on the space where we physically live.
- The local community section is therefore designed for those who live in or near to Berkhamsted (Hertfordshire, UK), whilst the general community section is designed for everyone. This does not mean one is disallowed from participation in the local community section if they do not live locally - it is just that the subjects discussed will be focused on experiences in Berkhamsted and its surrounds.
- This forum will also hopefully encourage a broad view of what gardening for wildlife encompasses. This includes the obvious flowers, plants, trees, shrubs and water features in creating wildlife friendly habitats. It may also include discussion about limiting pollution in gardens such as from plastics and chemicals.
