Dew ponds are so important … this is wonderful 👏
One year ago @southdownstrust launched 'Pounds for Ponds.'
Since then, eight dew ponds have been lovingly restored, providing a haven for fauna and flora, with work to start on restoring a further two.

👏✅Green win on campaign launch day!
Cons scored the only zero, for defending democracy. Labour scored low on meeting the UK’s international climate targets and protecting nature. Overall, Greens well ahead on key policies according to @friends_earth

We agree, and are so pleased Henfield is having a Year of BioDiversity to highlight this. #biodiversity #henfieldnature @henfieldmuseum @HenfieldParish
Fabulous to see @Sparsholt_Coll leaving parts of the campus uncut. I feel like we’re starting to see more of this everywhere. I really hope that people are starting to understand that we need this for both biodiversity and the climate! @LGSpace @HantsIWWildlife @wildflower_hour

The hardest thing…..powerful words. Let’s stay hopeful and hold leaders to promises of action.

Great news that the museum have made this exhibition to link with the Henfield Year of Biodiversity #Henfield #biodiversity
A fantastic new costume display for Henfield's Year of Biodiversity 2024. A serving of a variety of natural fibres from some very striking pieces.

Hedges are really important …this thread helps us see why. #Hedgewatch #hedgerow
This is a thread about hedges. They matter more than you think. And they are way more interesting. Let me explain… (1/12)

Professor Dave Goulson warned of this on a zoom event many Henfield people attended online two years ago…. #dog #rivers
Anti-flea and tick treatments for dogs could be harming sensitive streams and ponds in the New Forest, conservationists have warned bbc.in/3Tgyn7y
It’s a funny cartoon ….but about a really serious challenge…. Come on everyone, let’s act like it’s serious #AMOC #climate #carbonreduction
Look out everyone it's a cartoon about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Thanks for the education on this issue #DarkSkies
Unshielded outdoor fixtures allow light to be emitted in multiple directions, contributing to light pollution 💡🦋
Here's how different types of shielding can help to redirect artificial light away from our #DarkSkies 🌠

ALT A guide to how light shielding can help moths, by Butterfly Conservation. No cut-off means light can travel in all directions, attracting nocturnal insects and contributing to sky glow. Semi cut-off means that some light is shielded but some can still spill upwards. Cut-off means that light is prevented from travelling directly up or spilling upwards. Fully cut-off is best, directing light downwards.

Dog owners … this issue needs more attention if you want nature recovery @buglife @pawsonplastic @SussexWildlife
Really important research from @DaveGoulson. There are really effective herbal solutions for dog fleas, as there are for lice in human hair. Why poison our pets, us, our natural water systems and the environment? All these chemicals need to be challenged.
