Biodiversity action in Silsden - Climate Action Silsden

Encouraging Biodiversity in Silsden

Silsden has more green space than most towns its size. The Biodiversity group works to keep it that way — and to make it better. From planting native species to creating habitats for wildlife, we focus on practical, visible improvements to the places people in Silsden use every day.

What we focus on

Planting and maintaining native wildflower areas in local green spaces

Creating and monitoring habitats for insects, birds and small mammals

Running community planting days open to all ages

Free monthly biodiversity talks during the winter

Put up a bird box or insect hotel
