Spot the digger 👀 This camouflaged digger is busy zipping up drainage ditches on the far side of our site. This will reduce erosion and reset the surrounding peat 😁💚

Some before and after shots of a BIG. Peat pipe😃 This eroding area has been reprofiled and the pipe entrance blocked, creating a lovely pool that will slow the flow of water and be a great wildlife habitat 🐦🌿
While reading the latest @_BTO mag I was pleasantly surprised to find a refreshingly honest article from @BiosphereIOM 🇮🇲 BTO Youth Rep @alexxkxng on the challenges of engaging young ppl with the natural world (not helped by the #Manx ☔️💨🥶). Keep fighting the good fight! 👌

1/2 Cushag, our national flower🇮🇲is in bloom. An important native plant for invertebrates, it can be dangerous to livestock, esp if it gets into hay/silage. Tynwald amended the law in 2013, removing the obligation to pull it, unless a notice is served on you. See the Cushag Code:
2/2 Read the Cushag Code here: gov.im/media/402197/cushag_c… and the Weeds Act 1957 (as amended in 2013) here: gov.im/media/1357649/weeds-a…

What a treat to spend the afternoon at Beinn-y-Phott ⛰️ looking at the amazing work of @ManxPeat (Manx Peat Partnership). They’ve achieved amazing things in a relatively short period and at reasonable cost too! 💚 #MyBiosphere #IsleOfMan belated #BogDay trip @manxnature

Would you use the raft knowing a report has highlighted the water doesn't meet the minimum standards for bathing?
The Manx Wildlife Trust questions if the decision is incentivising residents to swim in unsafe waters.

A monumental day that has been 3 years in the planning: with our first Wheatears tagged @CalfObs. Many thanks to those who supported this project, incl Curraghs Wildlife Park, Jenny & Andrew Moore and @lucyjayneryan for much advice and training. Here's hoping for lots of pings! – at Isle of Man, United Kingdom
The Garwick raw sewage outfall within the (supposedly) highly protected Laxey Bay Marine Nature Reserve @ 17:55, Sat 29 Jun ‘24 (32yrs after the announcement of a solution)!🚽When will this disrespectful treatment of our citizens & natural environment finally end?! @BiosphereIOM
ALT Raw sewage pollutants being released into a highly protected Marine Nature Reserve. This sewage is coming from the village of Baldrine which houses the majority of the 1,647 residents of Lonan Parish. The Isle of Man Government announced in 1992 that the pumping of raw sewage into our cherished marine environment would stop, yet 32 years later it continues at three otherwise delightful swimming beaches (Peel, Laxey and Garwick).
