Watch nature rewild your garden
With a rewilding kit, you can:
- Observe animals using hedgehog homes, natural shelters, and bird boxes you’ve created
- Record how wildlife interacts with new plants, water features, and hedgerows
- Capture seasonal activity from nest-building in spring to hibernating hedgehogs in winter
These kits let you track the positive impact of rewilding, whether it’s seeing your first visiting robin, a shy hedgehog exploring, or insects returning to native plants.
Why rewilding matters
Rewilding is all about letting nature do its thing. By planting native flowers, creating safe hedgerows, and providing shelter, you can encourage wildlife to return to your garden. Over time, this builds a balanced ecosystem where birds, insects, small mammals, and amphibians can thrive.
A rewilding camera kit complements this perfectly by letting you monitor wildlife activity without disturbing these visitors. You can watch how species adapt, interact, and benefit from the habitats you provide.

Rewilding tips for your garden
Each of these actions helps the wildlife you want to attract and gives your rewilding camera plenty to capture:
- Create shelter: Leave logs, leaf piles, or plant hedgerows for small mammals and insects.
- Plant native species: Flowers, shrubs, and berry-bearing plants provide food and cover.
- Add water features: Shallow ponds or bird baths encourage amphibians and attract insects.
- Monitor quietly: Use your camera to check activity without disturbing wildlife.
- Keep it natural: Avoid chemicals and pesticides to let ecosystems flourish.
