"It's tempting to assume that the loss of wildlife and wild places is a problem that's happening on the other side of the world. The truth is that the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on the planet and the situation is getting worse." bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

It's International Compost Awareness week! Sadly, most compost for sale still contains peat. Our North Somerset reserves are great examples of peatlands: special habitats that do an amazing job of storing carbon. Sign our petition to end peat-free sales! wtru.st/ban-peat-sales…

Once again Hazel Class have brought colour and creativity to our community. Their creative writing is really brightening up Bathampton Meadows river path and the fantastic oil pastel art work is stunning. Well done Hazel!

Seen a lot of Small Totrtoishell caterpillars on nettles this last 2 weeks which is good. But why do they always seem to favour the field nettles that are going to be flailed. We desperately need more undisturbed habitats. @GrowBatheaston Alison Harper Bathscape

Looks like something spooked the Willow Dome ! Or maybe just a new hair style ... Alison Harper
