British Wildlife is published 8 times yearly, with 84 information-packed pages. Launched in 1989, it’s still going strong, due to low overheads. Sample articles are:
- The wildlife of London churchyards
- Identifying British ladybirds
- Restoring mountain woodland in The Cairngorms
- Conservation of the basking shark
- Southwest conservation of lichens
- The early lives of red deer
The magazine was founded when there were few publications that focused on the natural world. Wanting to offer a publication that appealed not to just naturalists but anyone interested in conservation, the magazine was born.

A Lovely Magazine on Nature and Gardening
Bloom is a wonderful magazine on nature and gardening, which contributes 1% of sales to a nature charity each month. Printed with eco inks and green energy, you can contribute £3 and they send a copy to someone less able to pay.
Use no-dig gardening to protect wildlife. Use fruit protection bags (over netting, which can trap birds and wildlife). Learn how to create gardens safe for pets (use humane slug/snail deterrents). Avoid facing indoor foliage to outdoor gardens, to help stop birds flying into windows.
