IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Plse ask you MP to lobby for it now. πŸ™

Why is the world afraid of long grass/meadows? For those adopting a #NoMowSummer, I applaud youπŸ‘ You are setting the standard & 100% helping your local wildlife. Since we are no longer in May, I’m conscious the mowers are being dusted off, so I’d just like to say #JuneIsTooSoon

Please don’t mow or spray the dandelions. They are a lifeline for pollinators including bees, butterflies, hoverflies. They support over 50 insect species. Our little film shows the life in a small patch 🐝 More: bit.ly/428s34x

Wolf conference gathering steam. Speakers getting ready to fly in to advise on life in wolf land. Calls will be played from the ridge where the flint knappers listened to their sonatas by moonlight. Poems will be read in the dark.

WONDERFUL! A farmer happy to farm and coexist with Beavers. Well done @DougWanstall! @gow_derek @BeaverTrust
Replying to @MartinKennedyVP
I’m a farmer, we have beavers in the area & I am very pleased we do. Farmers need to work out a way to manage land in harmony with nature not consider it a threat. We are entering a new paradigm in land management & the choice will be either work with nature or exit the industry

Instead of allowing the use of bee-killing pesticides, we would like to see @GovUK support farmers who are working towards transitioning away from the use of harmful chemicals. Ask British Sugar to help farmers sell neonic-free sugar. πŸ‘‰ wtru.st/back-beet-farmers

A single beaver pond holds an estimated 1.1 million gallons of water and recharges underlying aquifers with an even greater amount of water. Upon European arrival to North America, as many as 65 million beaver dams strung together waterways and hydrated landscapes.

Probably lauded as the greatest autumn for twitching rare birds I wonder just how many people look and realise just how devoid of birds most British habitats are now

The hedge on the left is managed every year. The one on the right has been left for several years. The same species, a hugely different outcome for local habitat diversity & richness because of the cover, nectar & berries. It doesn't always have to be the way it was in the past.

After returning from northern France, the lack of biodiversity/insect life in the UK is shocking. I can’t possibly convey the difference in one tweet so here’s a 🧡of just how nature depleted we are, even though the landscape, climate & species (historically) are almost identical – at Pays de la Loire, France
