Deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dame Hilary Mantel. May she rest in peace. But what a landmark when she has made the death of a writer headline news.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year, and may support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. More on why trees are awesome: bit.ly/3s2WVA9

Benches that contain hidden stories, what a fantastic idea 👏💚!
Our ‘Words from a bench’ project is now in the park! On benches in the Rowntree Park scan QR codes to access a poem/short story written by the community based on nature, escape or the park itself. @bishyroadnet @LittleVikingsUK @yorkpress @BBCYork @greenspacesyork @CityofYork

Sunderland’s carbon emissions mostly come from:
🏭Industrial and commercial emissions;
🏠Domestic emissions; and
🚗Transport emissions.
Sunderland has reduced its carbon emissions by 28% from 2005 to 2017. Together we can reduce Sunderland's carbon emissions every year.

Putting apple out in your garden can attract the winter thrushes - redwing and fieldfare. In colder weather they come to gardens to find food. Via @BBOWT

Trees and plants in our urban green spaces are #notjust pleasant to look at, they have a vital environmental role; improving air quality and providing important habitats. These benefits are lost if we don't protect the #GreenSpacesForGood. #Countryfile #PlantBritain

Day 2 of lockdown...who has been to a park or open space already?
This lockdown will be different to last time weather wise but it is a perfect change to appreciate the beautiful autumn colours 🍂 🍁 🍃
Share your photos of your beautiful park or open space 📸 👀😊

If you can, please plant a native hedgerow in your garden or community. So much better than a fence! It could help hedgehogs, bumblebees, blackbirds, frogs, butterflies, robins, bats, hoverflies, wrens... and much more, while soaking up CO2!
