🚨 A nationally protected wetland, #BroadwaterLake, is under threat.
⚠️ Hillingdon Council's proposed Watersports Facility on this SSSI endangers #wildlife & undermines environmental protections.

Our friends at @AffinityWater made this wonderful video encouraging people to save water to save wildlife. The River Colne and Stocker’s Lake in Hertfordshire features in the film with @GwkSouth and the Colne Valley Regional Park. youtube.com/watch?v=ESh_zaJW…

I missed the lawnmowers by minutes.😕 Sifting through the fresh cuttings I only retrieved 1 of the dozen orange tip eggs that were there.
This caterpillar will be going to a local nursery school, for the children to raise.
We need to let our native plants grow. #NoMowMay

Nice summary of why #floodplains should be a distinct category in future agri-environment schemes w/ generous incentives for restoring natural function and habitats @Floodplainmead @BeaverTrust @PondRiverStream @DefraGovUK theconversation.com/flooding…

Back by popular demand. What beavers do for butterflies. A reminder we don't need to chose between which species to reintroduce. Pick the right ones and the rest will follow. Beavers are keystone species. Here is just a little of what they do as habitat managers par excellence.

A bright sunny morning here in Suffolk and the Ivy-covered fence near my home was swarming with Ivy Bees, wasps, hoverflies, ladybirds and up to four Red Admirals, all attracted to the Ivy flowers - an amazing source of food for insects in autumn! @suffolkwildlife @BillButterfly

By leaving deadwood in community spaces and woods, land managers & councils can provide homes for all sorts of insects, mosses, fungi & lichens, as well as vital bird & bat nesting sites. It's also easy #climateaction, as deadwood locks up carbon for years!

At one of our projects in Scotland, #woodlandcreation is being delivered via #naturalregeneration instead of planting.
This reduces the #carbon released from the soil (during ground prep.) + saves on #plastic tree tubes.
The results are astounding. Just look at all that birch!

Did you know that an oak tree is brimming with life, more than any other native tree? #Fridayfact
Thanks to our friends @SussexWildlife for this great infographic.

Welcome home - forever! ❤️ We're so excited by this news. After 400 years without them, let's make sure we never lose beavers again. Brilliant work @DevonWildlife @UniOfExeter @ClintonDevon 👏💧 @DefraGovUK @BeaverTrust #beavers #rewilding bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…
