Wild things, counted.

Britain is one living meadow.Let's record it that way.

We join up the small wild places (meadows, margins, roofs, gardens and scrub) into one connected habitat. Members log every bee, moth, butterfly, bird and plant they find, and it becomes a living national picture.

How the network works

Register your site

Meadow, roof, field margin, orchard, scrub or garden: anything you look after becomes part of the habitat network.

Log all biodiversity

Record any species, not just pollinators. Bees and butterflies are highlighted; birds, plants and beetles all count.

Share what you find

See what other members are submitting nearby and share the management that has worked on your own patch.

Nectar matters

Small patches, kept well, carry a lot of life.

A single flowering shrub or an unmown strip can feed hundreds of insects through late summer. Recording what turns up on your land is how we learn which patches are doing the heavy lifting, and where the gaps are.

Time well spent

Good for wildlife. Good for you.

A pollinator plot is not only about biodiversity. It can become a quiet place to pause, observe and reconnect with nature. Watching a bee work a flower, counting butterflies on a warm afternoon, or noticing what changes week by week: these small acts slow the day down and give it a sense of purpose.

Recording what you see encourages you to look more closely rather than simply pass by. Many members share their discoveries with children, family, neighbours or a school community.

The bigger picture

Every patch added fills in another part of the picture.

A pin shows where a member is recording and what they have submitted. It does not by itself prove that habitats are joined up or improving. The more of Britain's managed land that is recorded, the better the picture becomes.
