Another BRILLIANT production from the @RABBLE_Theatre! Watching Henry the 1st inside the ruins of Reading Abby was something else, there were a few goosebumps moments for sure! You said it was the most ambitious project yet.....you pulled it off extremely well! A great evening!
We have hedgehogs on Stag Hill @UniOfSurrey !! We found tracks in two of the 12 tunnels placed out during the ecology practical for @UniSurreyBioSci !🥳🦔🐾! Please let us know if you see a 🦔using our anonymous survey pollev.com/surveys/LWQOLwbdm…
A very striking visual about climate change and biodiversity loss... @UniSurreyBioSci @UniOfSurrey
Biodiversity loss is a critical issue that we must tackle
On International Day for Biological Diversity, we share #BiodiversityStripes by @findingnature. Inspired by @ed_hawkins #ClimateStripes, the green to grey graphic shows species decline since 1970.

It's #GardenDayUK - and we're asking you to…do nothing!
Let your garden go a little bit wild with long grass - it's brilliant for British wildlife like #hedgehogs 🦔
Or why not sow some wildflower seeds, create a log pile or make a #hedgehog highway? buff.ly/2GbgZgO

Biodiversity stripes - another brilliant visualisation of a devastating problem.
For #EarthDay the biodiversity stripes have a new home linked to @ed_hawkins climate warming stripes, because the Earth faces two environmental challenges. Take a look and #ShowYourStripes: biodiversitystripes.info/
