Nice to see the school-based advocacy/art project @Birds2bHeard - local young people’s messages towards authority figures on climate change - being shown in the cafe at @TownerGallery

[Birds2BHeard @Birds2bHeard]

We're pleased to announce that the exhibition of Birds2BHeard at the @TownerGallery has been extended to 9th October.

Head to the café to see some amazing and thought-provoking artwork by local young people.

We’re overwhelmed by the work of students at the IT College of Lviv, Ukraine, who have been making their own Birds2BHeard.

Their experiences have informed their views on how war and climate change are interconnected forms of destruction.

[Birds2BHeard @Birds2bHeard]

We’re very proud that a selection of beautiful and powerful Birds2BHeard is currently on display in the @TownerGallery café and will be there until 2nd October!

Come and see this amazing work created by local young people.

Thinking of the Earth on this Earth Day and the remarkable efforts of people around the world to protect the planet 🌏

[Birds2BHeard @Birds2bHeard]

We're very excited about this...huge congratulations to everyone involved!

[Mary Colwell @curlewcalls]

And finally, it is being announced as definite on Thursday (also World Curlew Day!) - a GCSE purely on studying natural history in the UK and how it relates to the rest of the world. Field skills, ID, connection to nature. Some good news. Only took 11 years of campaigning!

[Birds2BHeard @Birds2bHeard]

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

[South Downs National Park @sdnpa]

Around us is one of the world's most rarest habitats.

Even though it only comprises 4% of the National Park, chalk grassland is literally amazing.

In just one square metre you could find 30-40 different wild flower species, including numerous orchids.

[Pauline von Hellermann 🌳🌴🌹🌻🌍 @PHellermann]

Just listened to this and really recommend it - how noise pollution affects birds (and humans). As @BirdgirlUK says, you can learn so much about the state of world environment by paying close attention to birds. Also nice to remember the silence and birdsong of the first lockdown

[UK Schools Sustainability Network (UKSSN) @UKSchoolsSusty]

Interesting findings on discrepancy between young people caring about and feeling able to take #ClimateAction🔎
Not sure why Scotland there but England absent 🇬🇧
Joining clubs, groups & networks in and out of #school can really help🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏼 🌍🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏻 #StrongerTogether

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

Britain is a rainforest nation - but we cut down most of our rainforests over the centuries. Overgrazed and under-recognised, only fragments remain.

Please sign my petition calling on the UK Govt to protect and restore Britain's lost rainforests:

Fantastic!

The new @sdnpa ponies doing their bit for nature recovery and biodiversity at Seven Sisters @SevenSistersCP today. It is carefully directed grazing like this that has seen the return of rare species such as the short eared owl

[Birds2BHeard @Birds2bHeard]

Nature has an amazing way of rebounding if we give it half a chance.
