Most wildlife is hibernating now, but keep an eye out for any that needs help. If you see a hedgehog about in the day it will need to go to a rescue centre. If bees emerge on sunny days, help them to get flying again with a sugary solution in a bottle top. Wildlife gardening is more than just growing plants - we can be their ambulance, too.
