Gardens and wildlife
We need to protect wildlife to keep our planet healthy: plants and animals provide food, clothes and medicines. In Camden, we have fantastic green spaces that improve the quality of life for all of us living, working and visiting the borough.
How can we all help protect our local environment?
Report species you see
We need to know what species are living in Camden so that we can see if our efforts to protect them are working.
You can help by reporting any sightings on the Greenspace Information for Greater London website: www.gigl.org.uk
