"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul." --John Muir

Creating Breathing Places

A Breathing Place is a space that people care for, for the benefit of wildlife and the community. A BBC Initiative, Breathing Places encourages people to get involved in visiting, volunteering and transforming local spaces to create tranquil, wildlife-friendly habitats: anything from school areas, workplace grounds and cemeteries to major landscape projects. Over the next three years, they are joining forces with the wildlife charities of the UK to publicize, popularize and rejuvenate wild and public "breathing places" across the country. This site offers a glimpse of some of their most inspiring projects.
