David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature

Information for Parks

This is your invitation to participate in the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature 2025 and join the many member parks already taking part.

Focusing 100% on wildlife conservation, the Pledge for Nature involves committing to five steps:

1.    improving existing habitats for wildlife

2.    creating new wildlife habitats and features where possible

3.    managing greenspace in as environmentally friendly a way as possible

4.    involving everyone in wildlife conservation

5.    engaging with local conservation bodies and projects.

It also includes signing up to a yearly wildlife challenge, designed to inspire you to put together a NEW project to help the wildlife on your park to thrive. The challenges include:

  • Everyone Active – create environmental activities for everyone to enjoy.
  • Home Sweet Home – set up bird boxes and other artificial wildlife homes.
  • Horti-Heroes – manage your greenspace in a way that minimises environmental impact.
  • Pollinator Patch – create an area where bees, butterflies and other insects can get food and shelter.
  • Rewilding – restore ecosystems to as natural a state as possible and allow nature to drive the changes.
  • Special Species – create an oasis for an animal species that needs a helping hand.
  • Super Signage – provide environmental information and interpretation to help everyone enjoy the wildlife on your park.
  • Tree-mendous – plant native trees and make your woodlands work for wildlife.
  • Wonderful Wetlands – put in a pond or enhance existing water and wetland areas.

This information sheet provides details of what’s involved, the benefits of taking part, participation fees along with further information about the wildlife challenges you can complete.

One of the key parts of the Pledge is a visit from one of our local wildlife experts. If you join the pledge you will get a visit in 2025. You will then receive a detailed report, full of valuable advice on how to enhance the value of your park for wildlife.

To sign up to the Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature 2025, simply email [email protected] confirming your park name and membership number and we’ll do the rest.
