We travel from Southend to Uttlesford 3 times a week and see several pairs each day. You can see them from the windows of Saffron Walden Hospital. Truly amazing birds.
According to X, formally Twitter, formally talking to your mates in the pub or your family around the table, we have 1,568 followers. With people leaving the platform in their droves, I just wondered how many of you are still out there.
I would like to reassure you all, in this year 2025 and 24 hours into the new Trump administration, that we are still committed to continue to convince our communities, whether virtual or real-world, that Climate Change, the inconvenient truth, is with us and is not going away. I encourage you all to do the same.

Good decision.
Hello, #pricklypals.
Many of you will have received an email from the @HoCpetitions regarding my #Hedgehog petition ‘Make #hedgehog surveys & mitigation measures compulsory for all new developments.’
Great news that Petitions Committee has requested a revised response from the Government.👍🏻
While we wait, here’s why I think the UK government response is inadequate:
1. Lack of urgency: While long-term goals are commendable, the urgency of the hedgehog's situation necessitates more immediate and impactful actions. The response lacks concrete measures with near-term timelines for implementation.
2. Limited scope: The focus on habitat restoration is crucial, but the response could be more comprehensive by addressing other threats like pesticide use and road mortality more directly.
3. Reliance on voluntary actions: While voluntary initiatives from developers are encouraging, the response would be strengthened by introducing mandatory requirements for hedgehog-friendly practices in new developments.
4. Insufficient detail: The response provides a general overview of planned policies and initiatives but lacks specific details on implementation, funding, and monitoring mechanisms, leaving questions about the effectiveness of these efforts.
5. Potential loopholes: The mention of agri-environment schemes as a funding source raises concerns about potential loopholes that could allow for continued habitat destruction in some areas if not carefully managed.

One minute it’s a smorgasbord for #pollinators. Twenty minutes later it’s much more tidy and a lot more suitable as a #Dogs toilet.

Hopefully this will be the first of many energy efficiency events we will be helping with this summer.

Still a long way to go so…..,

I wanted to express a huge thank you to everyone who has already signed the petition to make hedgehog surveys and mitigation measures compulsory for all new developments!
Hedgehogs are a vital part of our ecosystem, and their numbers are sadly declining. By taking action now, we can ensure that new developments don't further threaten these amazing creatures.
Here's how you can help:
•If you haven't already, please sign the petition
👉🏻🦔petition.parliament.uk/petit…
•Share the petition with your friends, family, and neighbours! The more signatures we get, the stronger our message will be.
Together, we can make a difference for #hedgehogs!
Thanks again for your support!
Cheers, #pricklypals
Don't just sign it sing it. Please share the Petition and share their story.🦔🦔🦔

Ok so it’s the weekend and you have a great opportunity to tell all your friends and family about this petition. Then keep talking and taking action because #nature needs you.
#Hogtastic !
When will we hit 10,000 & get a government response ?
Why do you think ?
No prizes for the correct guess 😁

It’s all about wealth
What does it mean? What allows it to exist? Why can’t I have it? What can we do?
Rich man poor man beggars man thief.
Shouldn't it read
Rich man thief = poor man beggars man…..

We have just signed up @sixinchessoil on a need to know basis. You need to know too.

We have many ideas, but most of them are not our own. Our goal is to spread a message that no matter who you are or what you believe, you cannot simply ignore the climate and ecological emergency. It is important to understand that it will not ignore you in return.

Essex Green Weekend slightly later this year but I’m sure just as good. It’s a fantastic weekend to network, learn new skills or just relax in the beautiful countryside. A special thanks to @TrustLinksLtd for organising and the wonderful @OthonaEssex community for being such great hosts.
