Discovering the wonder of nature on our doorstep

A community project to discover, support and reconnect with the nature all around us,
seeing the wonder in the everyday wild.

What we’re doing

This year we’ve been going Wild about Enham, finding out what wildlife Enham is home to and how we can support it, while providing better spaces for the community to connect with nature.  

We’ve been introducing new wildlife-friendly areas across the village and recording the wildlife found in them. We’ve asked local residents their views on how access to nature can be improved in the village. This project aims to bring nature closer to our community and celebrate the wildlife on our doorstep.

Why we’re doing this

Enham sits in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, and we want to understand, protect and enhance the natural environment that makes our village so special, while providing the health and wellbeing benefits of nature to all.

By learning what species live here, we can improve habitats and develop our green spaces to make Enham an exemplar for accessible nature.  

This project will also give the community the opportunity to play a meaningful role in conservation, helping us shape greener, safer, more connected spaces for everyone.

We’ve held talks with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust on how to spot and record wildlife on your doorstep; and a nature-friendly gardening talk with Andover Trees United. We also held ‘Easter in the Orchard’, an afternoon of seed sowing and seed bomb making held on Monday and Thursday.

No Mow May

We’ve taken part in No Mow May across designated areas around village. These areas have been signposted and we’re letting them bloom over the summer. Let the weeds grow in your garden this summer to help provide valuable food sources for our bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
