BBC Breathing Places

Mid Suffolk District is a Breathing Places Community.

Our free Breathing Places event 'Wild About Your Garden' was a great success in May. Over the summer, we've also given away lots of lovely Breathing Places resources at our countryside events, including nature themed booklets, reuseable bags, Nature Tales story books and Mini Beast and Wild Child t-shirts.

This Autumn, we asked Mid Suffolk residents to take part in a national tree event, Tree O'Clock, on Saturday 5 December to celebrate all things tree related. We gave away 250 free tree whips between 28 November and 5 December for people to plant in their gardens and community groups across the district ran tree planting events. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped to make Mid Suffolk a little leafier! 

For further information about trees and fun tree related activities and for many ideas to Do One Thing for nature near you, logon to the Breathing Places website.

Contact the Discovery Project Officer or Countryside Team if you are interested in running a wildlife event at any time of year, as we can discuss ideas with you and can lend you Mid Suffolk’s Breathing Places event pack and resources, including colourful outdoor banners to advertise activities.

Is your school signed up to Breathing Places Schools?

It is quick and easy to sign up and provides great ideas to turn your school into a wildlife haven. This term's Breathing Places Schools activity is all about trees.
