The campaign inspires households to take simple but powerful steps to support wildlife, starting in their own gardens. From planting native flowers for pollinators to leaving water and natural food for birds, these small changes can make a big difference for biodiversity.
Already more than 2,600 households have signed up to Let Nature In. And with one in nine native species at risk of extinction in Northern Ireland – including once-common garden visitors such as hedgehogs and house sparrows – the campaign has the potential to make a huge difference in helping bring nature back.
Dawn Miskelly, CEO of Ulster Wildlife, said:
“We’re thrilled to partner with FieldDay to inspire even more people to take simple, positive action for nature. By making small changes at home, together we can make a big difference for local wildlife – helping to bring nature back, one garden at a time.”
Maureen Carvill, Wildlife Gardening Officer at Ulster Wildlife, said:
“Our gardens collectively cover more land than all of Northern Ireland’s nature reserves, making them a lifeline for wildlife, especially as climate change and habitat loss take their toll. With FieldDay’s support, we’re aiming to reach our ambitious goal of getting 5,000 households involved – sowing the seeds of change and creating a network of wildlife-friendly spaces that will help nature thrive.”
Alix Mulholland, Co-founder of FieldDay, added:
"We’ve always been inspired by Ireland’s landscapes, and through this partnership with Ulster Wildlife, we can combine creativity with conservation. Helping people transform their outdoor spaces into havens for wildlife is a natural extension of our ethos – and it’s easier than people think, thanks to Ulster Wildlife’s fantastic step-by-step guides.”
Everyone who signs up to Ulster Wildlife’s Let Nature In’ campaign will receive a free digital pack, packed full of information to get started, plus seasonal advice and tips to help bring more nature into gardens, terraces, and balconies.
