MP for Don Valley @CarolineFlintMP at #ManorFarm with South Team & Tomorrows Natural Leaders. We're restoring incredibly important sections of semi-natural, ancient woodland, a rare slither of heathland & connected networks of ponds around a new housing estate @YWTPottericCarr

Sphagnum moss is intricately linked to human survival – we relate this now to climate change, clean water, flood risk mitigation, well-being... In WWI however, Sphagnum’s life-saving properties were much more apparent. bit.ly/2zDtpbb @uelsri via @ConversationUK

Well we made prime news!
WHAT A SIGHT! Our cameraman Phil Iveson captured this murmuration of starlings at @YWTPottericCarr near #Doncaster this afternoon. Displays like this can last up to 15 minutes and is one of nature's greatest spectacles @Natures_Voice

Naterrer's bats hibernate over winter in tiny crevices. They can be found in strange positions, with some even resting on their head! #HappyHalloween

With Halloween coming up I thought I would set a devilishly difficult Beetle photo ID quiz. So can you name the species? Not sure, follow the link and look for Ocypus olens in the Rove Beetles. britishnatureguide.com/rove-…

Really proud of what we've achieved in Yorkshire's #peatlands over the past almost-decade - couldn't have done it without the support of our partners and funders: yppartnership.org.uk/sites/d… Thank you to all who've worked with us.

Elephant in the UK climate change room. CO2 loss from damaged peatlands - more than 10MtCO2 per yr (bit.ly/2QWODaV) - negates progress in UK CO2 emissions saving last year (12MtCO2 ). Protecting #peatlands is a vital task in tackling #climatechange #GreenGBWeek #iucn70
