great
5 stars
This book is filled with practical advice, and ends with a final chapter exhorting you to look "over the garden wall" and advocate for wildlife in your local area. I found this advice from the beginning of the book to be very helpful in my thinking: "There are three simple principles you need to adopt if you are going to create a successful woodland-edge habitat. You must develop several layers of plants one above the other; you must include a good range of native plants, from trees down to carpeting wildflowers; and you must build up a rich layer of dead and decaying material, from big logs to fine leaf mold."
