@thestrayferret @northyorksc @StrayDefence @CollKaz2 Yet another imbecilic moron has broken a cherry tree on the stray overnight. Why? The tree was planted only days ago! I doubt it will be the last, who but an idiot would do such a thing! 😡

Making a #NewYearsResolution? How about resolving to spend more time outdoors in your local green spaces in 2023! Just a short amount of time in your local park each day will help you feel happier and healthier.

Good reminder to offer plenty of shallow bowls of water for visiting hedgehogs.

It really is so dry out there now please remember to put out lots of bowls of water on the ground for the hedgehogs who may visit your garden, and if they are not there other wildlife will benefit from the extra water. Please put out dog or cat food at dusk for hedgehogs.

And the April award for worstly scribbled "tag" on an inappropriate (charity) asset using the wrong kind of material goes to these two numnuts who can barely formulate a legible letter. Commense slow clapping in 1, 2, 3... 👏 #Harrogate

Vibrantly-coloured leaves dance in the wind and conkers are shining. Autumn is truly the time to see beauty all around us. #EveryoneNeedsNature

Did you know that hedgehogs snore? And sigh, cough, chirp, even huff. So keep your eyes - and your ears - peeled around piles of leaves this autumn.

Please provide water for hedgehogs (and other wildlife) in this very hot weather. Food will be scarce too so some meaty cat or dog food would be most welcomed by prickly garden visitors!
