Great day out amongst the autumnal colours at the Surbiton Wood / Richard Jefferies bird sanctuary! Tackling invasive species to improve the woodland quality and building a stag beetle loggery! SURBITON WILDLIFE Kingston Council
As #winter approaches, log piles are an easy #wildlife habitat to add to your outdoor space.
#PeterboroughNWC Project participants have made their own log piles by stacking logs and branches. These log piles will make an excellent habitat for brumating #reptiles & #amphibians .
Great day, despite the weather, at Claremont Gardens wildlife pond! Carrying out pond management and creating a hibernaculum for amphibians to hibernate in! So impressed by the childrenโs wildife knowledge! We will be back out next Saturday at Surbiton Wood! SURBITON WILDLIFE Kingston Council

Artificial lawns should be banned. In the face of a biodiversity crisis, we should be creating habitats, not covering our gardens in ugly plastic where no life can exist. They're non-recyclable, dangerous to pets, the negative list goes on... please sign!!

For those of you who have ventured for the first time into #NoMowMay , hats off to you. However, donโt cut yet - the best is yet to come! So many of our #wildflowers are still to flower. More importantly, our grass loving #butterflies are yet to emerge as we head into June and
