Today, a bill that seeks to ban peat sales in England will be introduced to parliament. After 40 years of campaigning, could a ban on peat-based composts finally be within reach Rishi Sunak? It’s time peat stays in #BogsNotBags. 👉 wildlifetrusts.org/news/last-chan…

We're so happy that Morrisons are selling plants raised in #PeatFree compost! If you're buying plants, check they were raised peat-free Peat-free retailers protect peatlands. When a peatland is dug up for compost the rare plants and wildlife are lost. Protect nature go peat-free

Peat compost must be banned, this is a prime example of why we need strong government that is willing to act to protect our society through nature that we depend on. Relying on 'market forces' just turns out natural system into a more fragile stack of cards.

What would a Bumblebee vote for? A hedgehog? A puffin? A peat bog? What kind of world are they asking for? Our species are asking, now is our chance to answer. 🦋🦉🐿 Conservatives Labour Party Liberal Democrats The Green Party please recognise the value of nature in your manifesto

🚨Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a #GeneralElection for 4 July. This is a hugely important election for nature and the climate. We must use our vote to ensure the next government does everything in its power to protect and restore nature in the uplands and beyond.

The United Kingdom is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. Thankfully, there is a clear way to tackle this major challenge. 👇

In times gone by, when people had a deeper connection to the land, we knew all about boggarts. These elusive, mischievous and magical creatures can show great kindness to those who treat them with respect but, if insulted or misused, they become disruptive and dangerous. 🧵

Here's your reminder Mary Creagh CBE MP that in 2016 you called for action to stop the burning of peat moorlands. Yet it's 2024 and peatlands are still being damaged. Now you are Minister for Nature, will you deliver a complete ban on burning?
