Corridor for Nature

Canals and rivers are often referred to as ‘Corridors for Nature’. They are home to hundreds of species of plants and animals. The areas around our canals and rivers provide six very different habitats.

We'd like you to think about how you could re-design an area of your garden or outside space to create a Corridor for Nature at your home. Your designs should be inspired by one or more of the canal and river habitats.

We'd love to see your final designs. Share them with us on the Explorers Facebook or Twitter pages.
