Wildlife

William Champion’s Garden is a vibrant green space in Warmley host to many insects, birds and animals and a variety of native and non native flora and fauna. There are varied habitats on the site with the Siston Brook running adjacent to the site, woodland behind Neptune, and established mature trees in the garden including oaks, limes, holm oaks and hornbeam, together with a nearly planted heritage orchard.

The garden is a key part of the South Gloucestershire Council’s Common Connections Project, a 4 year project to restore, improve and connect green spaces along the border of South Gloucestershire and East Bristol to benefit both nature and people. https://beta.southglos.gov.uk/common-connections/

In March 2024 Avon Wildlife Trust has launched a new project in Warmley, the Warmley Action Zone.

Avon Wildlife Trust are working with local residents to create a nature action zone – where we come together to create spaces where people and wildlife can thrive. Whether that’s planting for pollinators across front gardens, creating an orchard along a whole street, building a hedgehog highway, or helping our neighbours to delight in the creatures we share our neighbourhoods with.

Register your garden as wildlife-friendly, find out more about how you can create your own wildlife-friendly garden or green space, and join in wildlife walks, talks and events here www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/warmley-nature-action-zone.
