Another #wildlife pond finished for #wildlife today, along with an area of #wildflowermeadow that has been designed & created specifically to support a colony of Small Blue #butterflies in #Hertfordshire . Looking forward to seeing this one develop 🦋

It’s not that often that a male #Brimstone #butterfly sits still for more than a second or two, particularly when it’s sunny! ☀️ So when he does…! 😍🦋💚

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 restore nature 🐝

🧤If you can spare an hour tomorrow Saturday 27th April, come and help us to litter pick on Clapham Common 💚We provide everything you need and there’s cake to reward all volunteers. ⁦Best of Clapham⁩ ⁦The Clapham Society⁩

Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a decline in #butterflies we’d class as common, such as the three “White” species (Small, Large & Green-veined). So, with that in mind, I’ve decided to plant some Cabbage & Broccoli for them to lay their eggs on in my herbaceous borders…🦋🥦

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝

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 🐝

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 🌳

When you look at this street, it's not hard to understand why trees 🌳are so good for our mental health🧘‍♀️

We all deserve to have nature on our doorsteps 🏡🌻

Let's fill our streets with trees!

💚WOW! THANK YOU for all your lovely messages with news that EalingCouncil are giving us Local Nature Reserve designation!☺️💚Pls bear with us as we want to read each & every one!🌸🐝There are many steps yet to go but #WarrenFarmNR is now on the right (if slightly wet!) path!🕊️

Dear councils, 97% of meadows are gone. So please, this year, when the wildflowers return to the verges and our public spaces, don't poison them or over-mow them. Let them grow as a lifeline for insects like bees, butterflies and hoverflies 🐝

Check out this new street-based air-filtration system

Air pollution is a sad fact of urban life. One measure we can take is planting more street trees:

🥅Capture particulate matter
🧽Absorb harmful gases

🫁Produce oxygen
🫧Release water vapour &
😀other beneficial compounds

Highways bosses to close road for six weeks - to allow toads, frogs and newts to cross.
