I grew up in Hampshire, and spent a lot of my teenage years on the Isle of Wight. It’s where I saw my first cuckoo, my first badgers, my first hedgehogs and more! This is why it means so much to be the new president for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust 😄😍

With #ImACeleb back on TV tonight, we're highlighting #TeamVet's major concerns about the treatment of animals on the show every year. There’s no justification for insects, rats & reptiles suffering for ‘entertainment’– please join us in asking ITV to #GetAnimalsOutOfThere.

We’re not lovin’ it 😏 Haringey Green Lanes McDonald’s felled 11 mature trees + installed plastic grass this summer. Yesterday, Haringey Tree Protectors returned to site, demanding action to mitigate biodiversity loss.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust has welcomed wildlife television presenter and conservationist Megan McCubbin as its new President. Naturalist and Springwatch co-presenter, Chris Packham, was also appointed as a Vice President for the Trust.

It's extreme-Brexit ideology that's behind this bill, and the Govt doesn't seem to care at all about the chaos and harm it will cause to business, workers, people's health or the environment Until and unless it is withdrawn, the #AttackOnNature continues theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

Yet another neighbour asking for Artificial Grass installer recommendations. I'm still using my trusty graphic to change hearts and minds away from Shit Lawns and towards repairing soils and relaying a real one.

Our planting of a fruiting hedge, oak and hazel trees at Milton Locks Nature Reserve on 18 February went very well. Supported by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Portsmouth, the Leader of PCC, Cllr for Climate Change Portsmouth, Hantsiwwildlife Trust & some 80 friends family.

Something missing🤔? There's literally tens of thousands of miles of UK roadside where trees 🌳 could be planted. Some locations easier than others. The scale of the urban forest that could be created is immense. Let's create a national street forest. 👉treesforstreets.org

Best graffiti we’ve seen in a while. #Banksy eat your heart out 😎 Please note - this is a temporary art installation🖼️, which will soon be replaced with a beautiful street tree🌳 Interested in supporting this kind street art near where you live? 👉Treesforstreets.org

And here's Southern Water's contribution to mankind this morning. More sewage being dumped onto more beaches polluting even more seas. I note they are still refusing to publish their inland sewage dumping data. "Exceptional situations"? Feel free to explain Southern Water.

This is mad, are people not listening?

My stepdad Chris Packham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden + sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife. I stand by him wholeheartedly Pls share crowdjustice.com/case/support-c…

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!! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6331…

The empty, vacuous rhetoric versus the reality. Our bathing waters are cleaner than ever versus 57 world class athletes get sicks after sea swim. You decide.

Whilst we mourn the #Twitter bird, UK wildlife is in crisis. 38 million birds have vanished from our skies in the last 50 years. But there is hope. Together, we can bring our world back to life.
