As the days grow shorter, autumn transforms our landscapes into a patchwork of golden leaves, misty mornings and rich earthy colours. It’s a time of change, but also a time to pause and reconnect with nature, our neighbours and with the places we call home.
At English Estates, we believe that our open spaces are at the heart of our communities. They are more than just grass and trees – they are where children play, where neighbours meet, and where wildlife quietly thrives alongside us. That’s why this autumn, we are focusing on caring for both our communities and the nature around them.
To celebrate the season, we’ve created three new factsheets packed with simple, practical ways to support local wildlife and enjoy the natural world this autumn. They include fun activities to do with the family such as looking out for autumn animals like tawny owls and red squirrels. You’ll also find tips on identifying beautiful autumn trees such as maples, whose vibrant leaves add a burst of colour to our parks and pathways.
By taking small steps to care for our open spaces, we can make a big difference supporting wildlife, strengthening community bonds and keeping our shared landscapes beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
