The trend for turning front gardens into driveways is adding to night-time heat. During the day, this heat is stored and slowly released after sunset. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The result is warmer night-time air temperatures, particularly during heatwaves. Unlike vegetation, these hard materials don’t have the capacity to cool themselves through evaporation.

Day 23 of #30DaysWild. Log piles are vital micro-habitats for urban rewilding. Place them in a quiet, shady, damp spot to support native stag beetles and hedgehogs. Leave them untouched indefinitely to slowly decay and enrich the soil. #RewildMyStreet wix.to/hNR8SY3
