2006 Results
In 2006, we launched the Homes Fit For Birds pilot project aimed at encouraging people to take practical measures around their homes and gardens to benefit birds and other wildlife. The project focused on a suite of six species of bird- ‘the big six’ - whose conservation status is causing concern because their numbers have declined in recent years. A fantastic responseOver 20,000 people responded to our invitation to take part, which was exceptional and exceeded any of our pre-conceived ideas of numbers. Everyone who registered was provided with tailored gardening advice based on the garden features they reported. A staggering 4,500 of you let us know what advice you implemented and what birds and other wildlife you recorded in your gardens in June, July and August. In these pages, we bring you the findings of the 2006 Homes Fit For Birds survey. Last modified: 17 November 2006 |
