Biodiversity

Biodiversity describes the variety and variability of life on earth. This includes genes, individual species and entire ecosystems, all of which we rely on to live and thrive. With climate change and environmental degradation threatening biodiversity on earth, we recognise that we must work to restore biodiversity so that ecosystems and people's livelihoods are restored.  

The environment doesn’t stop in the countryside. Liverpool Guild of Students are working to re-green the campus and the wonderful city in which we live. Our opportunities aim to regenerate, educate and create green spaces that can be enjoyed by all of our members.  

Our Sustainability Team and volunteers are busy all year-round transforming areas of campus into the garden of dreams.

Get Planting

Based at the Central Teaching Hub, our raised beds, Guild Walk Wall Planter and Hügelkultur provide opportunities to grow food in the most sustainable way. Join our team of gardeners and learn more about urban food growing, permaculture techniques, biodiversity and health and wellbeing.

Fancy soaking up the British weather (sun, snow and rain all in one day!) and get back to nature with us? Find out more and become one of our Gardening Volunteers here.

Keep an eye out for Give it a Go sessions too, as we have lots of ways you can get engaged in growing things, from herb pot planting to fungus gardens!

Hedgehog Friendly Campus is a national program that works to ensure our University Campus is biodiverse and safe for all that live there. University of Liverpool have achieved the Gold Award for increasing green spaces, building safe environments for hedgehogs and other wildlife and completing necessary surveys to ensure our campus is the perfect home for our spiky friends.
