Isle of Wight Housebuilder Brings Nature To Doorsteps
By Amy Shephard
An Island housebuilder has launched a project designed to advise and inspire people to turn their outdoor spaces into havens for wildlife – whether it be a garden, balcony, yard, or community green space.
In partnership with the RSPB, the Nature on Your Doorstep project comes after people rediscovered local nature during the pandemic.
In 2020 alone, over 1.7 million people sought advice from the RSPB website on how to make their garden more wildlife-friendly, and in January the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch saw a record-breaking one million people take part and count the birds in their garden.

Now that warm temperatures are back, reptiles and amphibians are out and about if you look around, you might be able to spot them. Perhaps you’ve heard spring peepers or wood frogs calling. Or maybe you’ve seen a garter snake slip through sprouting blades of grass.
If you see any frogs, toads, salamanders, snakes, lizards or turtles while out exploring natural areas, parks, trails or even your neighborhood, please report your observations to the DNR.
Observations provide valuable data on trends, distribution and relative abundance for Michigan’s reptile and amphibian species and inform the conservation efforts outlined in Michigan’s Wildlife Action Plan.
