Remember, if you're buying something that's stopping an animal or plant from undertaking natural behaviour, you are probably on the wrong side of the world's biodiversity emergency.

By leaving deadwood in community spaces and woods, land managers & councils can provide homes for all sorts of insects, mosses, fungi & lichens, as well as vital bird & bat nesting sites. It's also easy ⁠, as deadwood locks up carbon for years!

70 days ago I started a petition to get greater legal protection.

22 days ago it qualified for written response from gov.

In 112 days petition closes.

No support from conservation organisations etc.

If you talk the talk, walk the walk.

I really admire the exuberant re-growth of the felled London Plane Trees at Euston. It’s a perfect way for nature to say f*ck you to the gratuitous ecological destruction wrought by HS2 in the area.

So the Government have banned plastic straws and now they're doing a consultation on banning plastic wet wipes...I agree this is much needed action, but meanwhile people can cover their entire property in plastic?? Can we get some perspective here!! Shit Lawns

99% of 420 Queen's Canopy saplings planted in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire died after hot summer

If you are planting trees, please ensure you have a strong aftercare plan. This is especially important for saplings planted in spring.

Forests with multiple tree species are 70% more effective as carbon sinks than monoculture forests, study finds

Mixed forests are more resilient to pests, diseases, and climatic disturbances, increasing carbon storage potential.

By piling leaves up in a corner of your little green space, you'll create a place for hedgehogs and insects to hide and hibernate. More tips to help garden wildlife this autumn: bit.ly/2MmgdxJ 🍂

What a glorious time we had bringing nature back into the Whittington Estate in Camden this week.
Thank you to our volunteers for bringing this community garden to life, and to Wayward for the wonderful plants they shared with us from The RHS Hampton Court!
