How many people out there are giving wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year? Please RT if you are offering a lifeline to pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats by mowing less 🐝

You bet .. just the start of things to be worried about the NWL. ..
❌will destroy rare bat super-colony - no adequate mitigation
❌goes over chalk river SAC
❌do nothing to help UK meet climate budgets
❌cost escalation - shortfall loan repayments will fallon taxpayers

As always, many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain what they’re up to.
Please #retweet .
Every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year!…

The bluebells flowers are coming 🥳🤗

Bee.

Everybody quiet down now and get some sleep.

Dream some kindness and common sense back into this world.

The Common carder bumblebee nests on the ground, often in thick, tangled grass🐝

In spring, queens look for these precious nest sites in our outdoor spaces. Why not let a patch of grass grow long to help them out?🏠

What are you doing in your outdoor space to help bumblebees?

Let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insects species, and are a great early season food source for pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies. No need to mow and ps don't use weedkiller. More: bitly.com/2FYQUhp RT if you're on board 🐝

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

Please say no to pesticides and herbicides. Cocktails of these chemicals in fields, gardens, parks, verges, community spaces are poisoning wildlife including bees, birds, hedgehogs, butterflies, beetles, frogs, damselflies, and polluting our rivers. Let's give nature a chance 🐝

We shouldn't have to go to court to fight for investment in healthy travel choices.

But we do, and today we were given permission by the High Court to judicially review the decision to cut walking, wheeling and cycling funding.

With HS2 money being redirected to road building, it's more important than ever that MPs hear from people who want a fairer and more sustainable transport system. If you haven't written to your MP yet to demand a roads review in England, please do it today actionnetwork.org/letters/demand…

'National Highways have been hiding behind the speculative policies in the decarbonisation plan to justify increasing traffic and emissions with its road schemes, including the £10bn Lower Thames Crossing.' 🧵

Ministers are legally required to respond to the Climate Change Committee’s (CCC) 2023 Progress Report by 15 October. Please ask your MP to urge the Government to carry out a roads review as recommended by the Climate Change Committee. actionnetwork.org/letters/demand…

In May, June and July, the Government made promises to the British people, and to Parliament that they would 'not lower environmental protections or standards'.

They lied.

Just a few weeks later, they are planning to do just that...
