The project will help to spread the message that everybody can do something to conserve the wildlife that shares the spaces we live work and play in. By working with groups that are currently under-represented as park users the project hopes to increase everybody's access to their natural heritage. Participants will engage in a variety of activities including tailored events, an environmental education programme for schools, the creation of a demonstration wildlife garden in Regent's Park, and by contributing to a modern archive of how people feel about parks and wildlife at the start of the 21st Century. Ten people, drawn from communities currently underrepresented in the park management/wildlife management sector, will be given the opportunity to undertake a free ten week training course run by Capel Manor on horticulture and gardening for wildlife.
