Protecting #AncientWoodland from development is a CPRE Sussex priority. Sussex woodlands now have spectacular carpets of #bluebells . Our partner, Sussex Wildlife Trust, has a guide to its reserves where you can admire bluebells: sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/discover/aroun…
Sunday is #NationalGardeningDay . Growing pollinator-friendly plants helps us slow decline of insects needed for healthy ecosystems & food security. Urban streets can become #WildlifeHabitats & we can enjoy seeing butterflies and bumblebees visiting our gardens or window boxes.
We need a rooftop revolution! CPRE finds rural homes lead on #SolarPower but total energy yield is still low. With right incentives/rules, house, warehouse and car park rooftops could supply power to cut CO2, slash energy bills & protect #countryside . See: cpre.org.uk/news/countrysi…
Sunday is #WorldHealthDay – a good time to think about enjoying the benefits of the #NaturalWorld for our health. CPRE Sussex works to protect, celebrate and regenerate our countryside and green spaces for people and nature. Want to help? Join us today: cpresussex.org.uk/get-involved/b…
