Will you join us? #RestoreNatureNow ✊🌳

Love this from JaneIdeCEO (she/her) ACEVO

I’ve chosen to surround myself with people better than me. It makes work better. I’ve even signposted brilliant people to leadership roles that I might be interested in. Because what’s the point in working with less than the best.

Imagine a Britain without the call of the curlew?

We can’t WWT. That’s why we’re working on the revival of this species with the support of many farmers, landowners, partners and our members. Thank you all.

More wetlands = more curlews = nature in recovery.

Happy World Curlew Day! Love them, protect them, celebrate them. 💚 ⁦Curlew Action⁩ 📷 Andrew McAlister

I think it's not only important to celebrate Curlews on #WorldCurlewDay but also the people helping to save them! At #SAVCurlews , we're so lucky to have Curlew legend Mike Smart helping us with farmer liason, an important aspect of our project 🪶

Wetland Word of the Week 🌿

SCURVY GRASS is a plant found on our saltmarsh. Its high vitamin C content meant it helped to prevent scurvy which is where it gets its common name. It is very bitter and actually not a grass at all but a relative of cabbage!

#WetlandWordOfTheWeek

We're celebrating our partners SWAROVSKI OPTIK, who have been supporting our work to unlock the power of wetlands in Madagascar!

By re-establishing natural vegetation in Lake Sofia with local communities, we're helping to restore the depth of this vital Convention on Wetlands site 🌿

The pictures in response to this post bring joy! Thank you 🙏🏼.

An absorbing, heart warming, uplifting film. Rather like the wetlands that are the backdrop to it. I loved it, but I am biased. All the best with it Jack Cooper Stimpson

Quantifying the benefit of #NatureBasedSolutions can be tricky. But there is data that demonstrates this #wetland superpower

WWT has worked with Mental Health Foundation & others to improve our understanding. There's more on what we did & learnt 👇

When I see wetland habitat like this from the train window I am uplifted, as I see a super-powered piece of our national infrastructure at work. Bursting with life as a flood busting, water purifying, mood lifting, nature boosting ecosystem. Anyone else see this?

These Girls Active leaders are totally bossing supporting other girls be active. Love being a trustee of ⁦ActivePartnersTrust⁩ and supporting the amazing work they do in our communities. youtube.com/watch?v=9nRZth…

Totally agree, a legend and to be followed by more women I am sure.

Sun shone on visit to WWT Steart Marshes yesterday with Matthew Gould of ZSL to talk species recovery, conservation breeding, working together. Marsh marigolds were stunningly yellow, sorry no photo! But did get one of gloves, restoring wetlands means getting muddy.

We love a solution WWT #WetlandsCan

Sunday runs. Finding my way to water. Blue recovery for mind and spirit.

BIG NEWS! We’ve received more than £800,000 from the government’s #SpeciesSurvivalFund 🙌

Thanks to this funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Defra UK, we’ll be able to restore and improve hundreds of hectares of wetland habitat at WWT Steart Marshes.
