Title image
Kitchener image These are the people who have given their time and experience to Space For Nature by contributing features, pictures etc. To see a list of links for each author's contributions, follow the links below.

Space for Nature is always looking for contributions from more people with an interest in wildlife gardening and/or garden wildlife. If you feel that you have something to contribute, e.g. a story of interest or a good picture, please contact the site editor Richard Burkmar. Space for Nature features can be anything from a few hundred words to several thousand. Don't worry if you have something to say on a subject which has already been 'covered' (e.g. garden ponds) - we're always interested in a different angle or viewpoint.

Joan Burkmar has enjoyed the wildlife in her 'new town' garden for many years. Regular visitors include foxes, a still healthy population of house sparrows, and many woodland birds (even a recent green woodpecker). Her acquisition of a digital camera with a powerful zoom lens has brought many of these subjects within her photographic range and now she spends most of her time taking pictures instead of doing the housework!
