Our friends UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology estimate Britain's historic hedges, all 400,000km of them, would wrap around the world 10 times.

But 50% of our hedges have been lost in the last century. We need more #HedgerowHeroes , and our gardens are great places to start. Let's get connecting... 👇

#NationalHedgerowWeek

DYK – hedgerows not only provide vital wildlife habitats, they soak up carbon & prevent soil erosion. 🌍

Our expert volunteers maintain the hedges at our farms and green spaces, come and meet them this weekend & discover more! 👇

With 97% of meadows lost since the '30s, we can all do our bit. Join the movement and register 👉 Plantlife

Our friends RadleyLakesTrust secured funding for a new path at Thrupp Lake and our volunteers have been busy preparing the ground for the works, in some pretty dire downpours.

From an often soggy old path, to a new accessible pathway. It will be well worth all those wet socks! 🙏

#NewtoNature is a fantastic scheme, opening the door for young people to gain experience in 'green' roles. We have been so lucky to have benefitted from Hugh's enthusiasm, talent and skills, and thrilled to have set him on the path to an environmental career.
Highly recommended!

Thank you so much to everyone who donated. It will make a real difference for wetland habitats in Oxfordshire, and beyond.🙏

At last a dry day for our rangers and volunteers working at Abbey Fishponds community reserve. In the south fen for the spring grassland cut, rake and clear to improve the summer plantlife diversity in the fens.

Water forget-me-nots blooming all through the meadow. Glorious!

💦 1 day left to #LoveWetlands !💧
