How it works
You've got a space. Let's make it part of the Highway.
You do not need specialist equipment, ecological qualifications or a perfect plot. Watching it develop is part of the fun.
Step 1
Join the Highway
Register your first plot when paid joining opens. Payments are currently paused while secure checkout is prepared.
Step 2
Create your plot
Tell us about the garden, balcony, allotment, school, workplace, farm, orchard, meadow, field margin, roof garden or other space you look after. Give it a name that feels yours, from Grandad's Meadow to The Office Wildlife Garden.
Step 3
Drop your pin
We use only the outward postcode and place the pin at an approximate district location, never a home address.
Step 4
Take a look around
Slow down, notice what is flowering, buzzing or hiding under a leaf, and photograph what interests you.
Step 5
Identify what you see
Use photo identification as a helpful starting point. Review every suggestion before saving it.
Step 6
Build your wildlife history
Keep a personal record of what appeared, when it visited and how your plot changes.
Step 7
Make one positive change
Plant for pollinators, add water, create shelter or simply let one small area grow.
Step 8
Share the journey
Tell the Community what you discovered, what you tried and what you learned along the way.
Step 9
Watch the Highway grow
Your plot becomes one part of a wider picture made from member plots and observations across Britain.
