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 🌳

What a joyous surprise. Wasn’t expecting to see this on the roadside in #lancashire Bird’s Nest Orchid (Neottia nidus-avis)

If I dug up 600 *legally protected* Lizard Orchids I would quite rightly be branded a criminal and prosecuted for wildlife crimes. But someone WILL be digging these up to make way for a development - and that’s fine and dandy. Madness! Joshua Styles Leif Bersweden Rebecca Wheeler
