The idea

What we’re doing

This year we’re 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’re building an accessible nature trail, introducing wildlife-friendly areas across the village and launching a Big Wildlife Count in June, all to bring nature closer to our community and celebrate the wildlife on our doorstep.

And we want you to be a part of it.

Why we’re doing it

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.

How you can get involved: Key events

Activity

The Big Wildlife Count is taking place on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 June

Over the two days, you can explore our new nature trail, and help us to record all the different species we find across the village. You can also share what access to nature means to you and what you’d like to see at Enham. Nature Friendly Gardening

Wild about Art

We are excited to launch Wild about Art, a community art competition celebrating the everyday beauty, wildlife, and natural spaces in and around Enham. This is part of our Wild about Enham initiative, a project running throughout the summer to find out what wildlife makes its home here and how we can best support it.
