We’re proud of what people are saying about us. Here’s a selection:

“The synergy at the heart of Natural Neighbours, of social networks of wildlife gardeners creating ecological networks of habitat, is absolutely brilliant.”

“We’ve always known gardening connects people with nature. Natural Neighbours promises to help complete the circle, connecting people with nature with other people – this way everyone benefits.”

“The big challenge for wildlife gardening remains getting the 'silent majority' of gardeners to take an interest in wildlife, so any attempt to do that is to be applauded. I wish Natural Neighbours every success.”

“What a great idea Natural Neighbours is, helping to build communities that work together for local wildlife.”

“We strongly feel that Natural Neighbours will benefit our community in a myriad of ways, not only through increased fauna and flora but also the potential to bring people together and improve the health and well-being of our neighbourhood.”

“Natural Neighbours is a brilliant idea. The prize is people being able to create neighbourhoods that are more abundant with life, improve people's health and have richer communities.”

“In Hackney we are committed to making the borough greener and healthier, and fully recognise the benefits of a strong connection with nature, in enhancing wellbeing and in enabling urban wildlife to thrive. We're looking forward to working with Natural Neighbours - encouraging local communities to share their experiences, excitement and ecological discoveries.”

“Cities play a critical role in addressing the climate and biodiversity crises and urban greening efforts need to be joined-up to be effective. Natural Neighbours's focus on urban nature and our relationship to it is vitally important, both in its own right and as part of building popular support for environmental action.”

“With its emphasis on connecting and improving habitats in local outdoor spaces through community action Natural Neighbours combines the social and ecological at a scale where it is really needed. This is a ground-breaking and incredibly necessary initiative, and one that could prove vital for nature recovery in our cities”
