On the eve of #NoMowMay (and beyond!) here’s a little thread on why both mowing AND not mowing different parts of your lawn can be brilliant for wildlife. Sounds perverse? It’s all about long-grass and short-grass, and why you want both…

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 🐝

Wake up everyone!
What is going on under your very noses?
£227million taxpayers' money to go to Anglian Water to relocate their sewage plant a mile down the road? Something very very wrong, don't you think? #bbcqt

Breaking‼️‼️‼️ New Evidence suggests Public grossly misled by Council’s statement on reasons behind Natural England's bat protection advice

In a glaring display of incompetence and environmental disregard, Norfolk County Council , under the questionable leadership of Cllr Kay Mason Billig,…

Are Liberal Democrats & The Labour Party on Cambridgeshire County Council going to become “environmental vandals” too, or act now, listen to the experts like Chris Packham & drop plans to cleave Cambs largest traditional orchard in two❓ #SaveCotonOrchard 🗳️🐝 thetimes.co.uk/article/chris-… ✏️ change.org/p/save-the-gre…

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.
