WildPlay provides schools, community groups and the general public with the resources they need to get the young and young at heart inspired by the outdoors whilst improving biodiversity in their very own ‘little green patch’!
Featured Item – Hedgehog Homes
Wildplay offers a fantastic range of products designed to improve biodiversity and get young and old alike enjoying nature. One such product is our fantastic new for 2016 hedgehog home.
Each hedgehog home is handmade with locally sourced timber from sustainable sources in the Peak District. It is designed to provide a hedgehog with a safe place to live in the summer and to hibernate in winter.
As well as looking fantastic in any garden, this hedgehog home helps to conserve a lovable and recognisable species that has been declining in recent years. Also, having hedgehogs locally provides a number of benefits including eating garden pests such as slugs.

Why we support outdoor play
We recognise that regular outdoor learning encourages children and young people to engage with their natural and built heritage while bringing a host of benefits in terms of health and wellbeing. Outdoor play also contributes to some of the most important aspects of a child’s development.
Not only does it provide a valuable learning resource but the outdoor improvements you make can vastly help improve conditions for wildlife, whatever size green space you have.
