🌳 WAYS OF KNOWING 🌳

14 artists from 7 countries! The artists in this exhibition explore how and where we as individuals fit in the natural world, making connections between the environment and our physical bodies.

Heywood and Condie’s work concerns new ways of engaging with and representing landscape and nature by setting up dialogues between natural and human-made worlds.

Heywood and Condie's work is featured in our Ways Of Knowing exhibition at Brixworth Country Park.

@AdeysAlthorp We counted 7 at the country park yesterday

We currently permit the use of BBQs at Country Park.

Often, the next day, Rangers & Volunteers are greeted with the mess left behind.

Do you think we should continue to allow BBQs in our country parks?

A great excuse for having some scruffy areas in your garden. Nettles are the food plant for the beautiful peacock butterfly caterpillars. ❤

P.s. all creatures found were released back into their homes!

@_JoelAshton @LBofHavering Telling that the replies were turned off. Methinks they realise this is not what residents want.
Doesn't ever look tidy after it's been cut & drifted across paths anyway.
Much better longer for everything, man and "beast"!

[Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue @northantsfire]

Please be careful extinguishing cigarettes.

Yesterday our Mereway crew were called to Watford Gap services to douse a grass verge fire caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette.

Hot and dry conditions mean fires start and spread easier. Make sure your cigarette is right out.

[Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK @RLSSUK]

The final part of the Water Safety Code is FLOAT.

Make sure that your children know what to do if they fall in the water - spread their arms and legs like a star, float and shout for help. If you see someone else in the water, throw them something that floats and call for help.

[Brixworth & Brampton Country Parks @BXCPBVW]

Please note that the car park here at Brixworth Country Park will be closing at 3pm tomorrow (Saturday 24 June).

Cumbria's fire and rescue service has seen an increase in calls relating to 'disposable' BBQ fires.

These single-use items can reach 400°C and take hours to cool, posing a danger to the environment #BanTheFlamingThings
