Wildlife

I recently discovered a hedgehog visiting our garden at night. It made me so happy. All gardens, farms, towns and cities should be wildlife friendly. For too long, humans have been at war with nature – aiming to dominate and subjugate; to control and curtail; to tame and train out its wildness. Instead, by creating habitats (large or small) that attract and welcome other species, that include rather than exclude wildlife, we are affirming the right of all life to flourish. We are placing ourselves in the web of life, rather than at the apex. We are being good neighbours.
