The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and the Wildlife Trusts are supporting slugs in a campaign to get people to 'make friends with molluscs,' highlighting that they can often be a gardener's best friend. Only a small fraction of slugs and snails cause problems for gardeners, while the majority contribute to a balanced ecosystem.
Britons have been urged to 'make friends' with slugs and snails as only a 'small fraction' cause havoc for gardeners. The molluscs are regularly thought to be among the most frustrating species of animal for gardeners, despite the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) saying they shouldn't be considered pests two years ago.
Now, the RHS and the Wildlife Trusts are supporting slugs in a campaign to get people to 'make friends with molluscs,' highlighting that they can often be a gardener's best friend. Helen Bostock, RHS senior wildlife specialist, said: 'While a small number of slugs and snails can cause damage to certain plants, overall they bring many benefits to the garden and contribute to a balanced ecosystem. 'We hope that by highlighting the crucial work that molluscs do in our gardens we can help give them a well-deserved reputation makeover.' The charities said that of around 150 species of slugs and snails in the UK, only a 'small fraction' pose problems for gardeners, with most instead eating rotting plants, fungi, dung and even dead animal
