BBC - Science & Nature - Britain Goes Wild:

"The bigger picture
As the intimate details of animal lives are revealed, the team will also investigate the bigger picture: how is British wildlife doing at the turn of the 20th century, what is the future for the British landscape and how can we work together to protect it? "

TDC makes space for nature.

Makes space for birds in the holes that it have been left or created in the outer walls.

Makes space for plants and ants in the yards it doesn't clean.

We have been makeing space for nature but in a more controlled people friendly way. We have taken the grass and put it on the planted areas to cover the ground helping insects find homes and allowing for more natural residence to find food.

In this way we have a great area for another force of nature - children.

By placeing the grass cuttings under the plants they soon stop being so dry as to irritate those with grass alergies but feed the plants and make space for insects.

By limited trimming our yard area is allowed to grow naturally this creates a more normal space for nature to hide while keeping the yard usefull.

Didgital zoom to show TDC make space for nature in our gutters.

TDCs Yard has a large and active ant colony. Ours does too but at the edge not in the centre.

While this is gret for helping nature it is bad as they could well set up home in the building.

A very of our well managed yard from the waste disposal shoot and the unmanaged "space for nature" of TDC 

outside of our little area the grass is sadly not doing so well.

Another area where TDC makes room for nature! Look at the compleate lack of quality, the large number of ways things can kill themselves...

The weeds are almost taller than the "stolen" wheel barrow!
