Blue Plaques for Nature are migrating northwards! This one spotted in Northumberland, in a village that had swifts last year but none this year.They're coming June 22nd to ask new gov to mandate swift bricks in new builds. @RNNMarch @XRLondon @WriterHannahBT #MPforNature

Is scaffolding blocking access to a known swift nesting site?
📳 THE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE
📳 Film it. Note the exact location (OS grid ref/W3W)
📳 Ring 101 and ask to speak to a Wildlife Crime Officer
📳 Ask for an incident number so it's logged
It's an offence to destroy damage or interfere with a nest in nesting season. Scaffolding on #Hooleys #Matlock was doing just that to an active house martin's nest. Thanks to @DerbyshireRCT for acting so promptly. Hoping the house martin family will survive. #RestoreNatureNow

Two welcome nest entries at St. Anne's Church, and one #Swift entry at 98 Western Road.
A return to one of the nests in Abinger Place, makes 53 nests discovered in #Lewes so far. Lovely picture of a Swift resting in the nest from the wonderful Jonathan Pomroy, Wildlife Artist.

Looking forward to @CommonGroundLab #AppleDay tomorrow? The #Orchard Garden will be a ‘gene bank’ for 37 endangered north west cultivars, like this beauty, the Burr Knot. We’ll also be sharing the #apple love & giving 200 trees to #community organisations across the region

"Why do we need so many different kinds of apples? Because there are so many different folks... There is merit in variety itself. It provides more points of contact with life, and leads away from uniformity and monotony."
Liberty Hyde Bailey, Apple-Tree, 1922.
Happy #AppleDay..!

Today is #AppleDay, one of the core moments of autumn: ow.ly/Elq450BXgFL
Celebrate the humble apple with a golden and delicious recipe, a spot of apple bobbing at home, wassailing practice in the garden and maybe take a wander through an orchard near you.

This tree 'Book of the Day' inspired the name of #Dorchester's first #UrbanTreeFestival- 'Trees be Company'.
This anthology of poems was compiled by @CommonGroundLab in 2001, and celebrates our long and deep culture relationship with trees and woods.
