Give a gift to wildlife this Christmas, Mayor urges

West of England residents are being urged to give the birds, bees and other wintry wildlife in their neighbourhood a gift this Christmas by the West of England Metro Mayor, Dan Norris.

From making bird-friendly wreaths to repurposing your Christmas tree, there’s lots families can do to benefit nature this season, according to the Mayor. He says: “Small changes can make all the difference when it comes to supporting bees and other brilliant animals - especially over the festive period.

“Creating a wildlife-friendly garden can add a touch of festivity to your home and benefit wildlife too, but there are lots of other smaller things we can all do - like using recycled wrapping paper.

“Let’s make this year the West’s most wildlife and nature-friendly Christmas ever.”

The Mayor pointed to Avon Wildlife Trust top twelve tips factsheet for people to help people have a “wildlife-friendly Christmas” this year.
