Let it go wild 🥳 One way to show both yourself and your local wildlife some kindness is just to kick back and let your garden go a bit wild. Let the grass grow and give up on weeding - if anyone asks, you're doing it for the animals, duh? 📸: Arnhel de Serra

Restoring nature and increasing carbon stocks on land is a critical step towards this goal, so we look forward to hearing more from, and working with, the Prime Minister on the Government's plans to restore nature at pace and scale as part of the UK's path to Net Zero.

Originally planted after WWI by veteran Edmund Blyth, the Cathedral is a peaceful, green sanctuary honouring lost friends and comrades. Its “walls” are formed entirely by trees, shrubs, and plants, arranged in the shape of a traditional cathedral! 📸Mike Selby

Just like any cathedral, Whipsnade needs constant care. Ash trees planted in 1938 have been removed due to a fungal disease. Now we’re planting 12 resilient wild service tree saplings in their place to boost biodiversity and restore the Cathedral to its former glory! 📸Mike Selby
