Chris: Rip up decking and save wildlife

- BY EMILY BEAMENT

CHRIS Packham wants gardeners to rip up their decking to help wildlife.

The TV naturalist, 57, says we should put in more plants and flowers.

He added: “What use is a lawn? Use your imaginatio­n to make your garden friendly for wildlife.”

The presenter is visiting 50 sites across Britain in a “bioblitz” campaign.

He said: “It’s about looking in fields, on verges, in allotments, in community spaces and gardens where nature can prosper if it has an opportunit­y.”
