Episode 305: Building on Nature

What feature does a wildlife supporting landscaper refuse to install in a garden? What is the most beneficial addition for wildlife? And how can hard landscaping be compatible with wildlife and nature? This week my guest is former ecologist and founder of NatureScaping, Nick Townsend, who sheds light on building greener gardens. Nick uses his knowledge of ecology and the environment in his landscaping business in order to make better gardens and outdoor spaces for wildlife. About Nick Townsend Nick holds a masters in Environmental Management and is a former ecologist. After working with different organisations within the ecological, environmental sectors, and landscapers he is applying this knowledge in a unique way to make a genuine difference to our cherished native wildlife. He works closely with teams of trusted contractors during NatureScaping projects to bring each project to life.   Links www.nature-scaping.com NatureScaping on Facebook Other episodes if you liked this one: If you liked this week's episode with Nick Townsend, you might also enjoy this one from the archives:  Green at Heart - The episodes generating the most feedback recently have been those featuring other gardeners and business owners who are trying to run green businesses, so I called on former guest and supporter of the podcast, Dave Woolmer.
