The weather might be against us today - but if you can, have a go at making a wildlife home. You might want to do this as a family activity this weekend. If you can't join in today, you could use the links saved below the video to find out more....

This website from the BBC tells us what Minibeasts are.

This comes from the RHS (The Royal Horticultural Society) who are the experts on plants. They care a lot about insects because insects help to pollinate plants.

Maddie Moate shows how insect hotels are made for sale in shops

This is from the RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) who also care about insects because lots of birds eat them. This is a BIG project though and requires lots of resources.
