Please don't turn your lawn into plastic. Plastic grass reduces food & shelter for wildlife such as bees & butterflies; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More bit.ly/3wE67P8 🐝

Do you know what this object is? We recently had a report that a poor #hedgehog had been wounded through contact with this sharp object and we need to find out what it is in case it’s likely to be a problem for other hedgehogs. ☎️ 01584 890 801 📧 [email protected]

We've lost 97% of wildflower meadows in living memory. But meadows: 🌻 Support up to 40 species per square metre 🌻 Are lifelines for pollinators 🌻 Soak up carbon 🌻 Are beautiful 🌻 Provide a hay crop Let’s protect those that survive, and grow more wildflowers where we can!

It’s that time of year when many people start to ‘tidy’ their gardens. But by being less tidy, and leaving dead and hollow stems of plants unpruned during autumn and winter, you'll be providing shelter for hibernating insects, including ladybirds, during the colder months 🐞

Crab Apples have the most gorgeous colours! Birds love them too so they make excellent natural feeders during the winter. We recommend these lovely trees. frankpmatthews.com/catalogue/type… #crabapples #crabapple #malus #frankpmatthews #fruits

“O, a-nutting we go! Now the bloom’s on the sloe; And the Guelder-rose clusters are gay In glossy carnation! How bright is the glow Of the Hip — fairy lamp of the day!” - from ‘Nutting Time’ by James Rigg. #WednesdayMotivation #poetry #nature

Please don't dump Halloween pumpkins in the countryside, or leave them to rot in your garden. Eating pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds & other animals ill – so dispose of pumpkins in a compost bin or council food waste bin, or bury under 20cm soil. bit.ly/3MhOePr

Can you believe that this used to be a huge flood embankment? Now, the River Ribble is reconnected with it's floodplain. Of course, an embankment still protects local residents, but it's much further back and the river now has an extra 30ha of land to flood!

Wetlands don’t care which direction the rain comes from ⚠️ They act as natural sponges and absorb excess rainwater, releasing it slowly rater than flooding. We need more of these habitats to protect our communities from flood damage.

Over 40 years of listening to Steve on the radio... I feel I've lost a dear friend. He was a true genius and an inspiration to us all. RIP Steve 💔📻
