More than 700 different species of wild plants have been found on UK road verges. If councils reduce cutting where safe to do so, verges can be a fantastic habitat - boosting biodiversity, saving costs, and bringing more nature back into our lives. More: bit.ly/40VK5pl

But seriously , what has nature ever done for us ? You know , apart from the air we breathe , the food we eat , making us healthier . . .

#EarthDay

We first discovered these Large Willow Bark Aphids in spring last year. This year they are back, but it looks like they are on the menu...

We need to plant many more native trees in urban spaces, and better protect and value existing ones. This helps nature and wildlife. It's #ClimateAction ⁠. It reduces floods, pollution and urban heating. And it improves our lives. More: bit.ly/2eMCYds Via The Nature Conservancy

A Loveliness of Ladybirds, and yes, that really is their collective name. 7-Spot, Cream Spot & Harlequin. 🐞

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 🐝

Just stunning, the photo doesn't quite show the amazing bronze sheen on this Ground Beetle.

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 🐝

We found this photo on Google recently, this shows exactly what we started with for our rewilding project. The front field, in particular, was literally a blank canvas.

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay

Beaver Trust is a registered charity dedicated to restoring beavers to regenerate our landscapes.

But today, we just want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated supporters, generous donors, & partners who make our work possible

Wilding - in cinemas June 14th - the story of a young couple who gambled everything on the power of #nature , turning failing farmland into one of Europe’s most significant #rewilding experiments.

Balloon and lantern releases create litter and #plasticpollution in landscapes and seas that can harm the environment, wildlife and livestock. Celebrate special occasions and loved ones by planting trees, wildflowers, or bee and butterfly gardens instead!

How many people out there are giving wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year? Please RT if you are offering a lifeline to pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats by mowing less 🐝

Plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence! It could help hedgehogs, bumblebees, blue tits, small mammals, insects, robins, frogs, bats, toads, dunnocks, butterflies, moths, blackbirds, solitary bees, wrens, hoverflies...

Sadly, not the Kestrel that we hoped for building in this box. Mob rule seems to have won over, and we have Jackdaws filling every inch of space with twigs!
