Did you know for only £10 a year (£15 for a family) you can become a member of FCC?! Now more than ever the Common is a sanctuary for so many and behind the scenes FCC help improve & protect it. Help us continue to plant trees, hedges, flowers and more! https://t.co/EKxxQenYgL

@stpaulsopera I’ve got mine! Would t miss it.

This is utterly heartbreaking- what is wrong with developers?
The swifts are seen trying to return to their nests and the nests are no longer there

What are those bags around the base of a tree?
They’re tree watering bags! 💧
💡Sue in Newham showed us an innovative way she fills her sponsored tree's watering bag. They can be a bit pesky, but persevere because they’ve proven to increase establishment rates of new trees🌳

Please can you sign this urgent petition. Wildlife that we all love: birds, bees, hedgehogs - are being silently poisoned by a group of powerful chemical companies making billions selling toxic pesticides and fertilisers. The UK government can stop this! https://t.co/mW1ntrJmuI

[James Abbott @JamesAbbott2013]

Ancient trees and woodlands have minimal protection compared to what they should have.
We need new national legal and planning protections similar to listed building status.

Tree sponsors and Watering Champions across the UK are receiving their watering email reminders today and taking part in #WateringWednesday 💧🌳
Is there a new tree near you that could do with a drink? A good watering makes a huge difference💚🌳

I just signed Dame Judi Dench's petition, calling on the urgent restoration of our ancient woodlands!

Unbelievable! Disposable barbecues need banning.
Only two weeks ago a giant fire ripped through nearly 3 acres of reed beed at Pegwell Bay (SSSI) today people are out there in the restricted area with a disposable barbecue!

Very Important Message!!

Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood.

This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants!

Make sure to share this post!

Mornin’.

Willow Trees.

Queen Bumblebees.

Spring.

One of the most vital plants for #bumblebees (and a host of other #insects).

Provide a desperately needed early #food source.

Now you know.

Respect, protect and plant Willow trees.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Spraying just one dandelion with roundup will kill 100+ pollinators.

The flower won't die right away and will be visited by dozens of bees and butterflies, poisoning them as well.

NEVER spray spring dandelions. Ever.

It’s tonight! The @OffWestEndCom Awards. And @stpaulsopera has FIVE nominations!!! Wish us luck! Performance @fionahymns @MSmaukstelis Production #lelisirdamore Staging @eloiselally Sound & Music @adrsxn Industry & Inclusion @PNinian

For an eco-friendly kitchen:
🍏Choose durable, plastic-free equipment
🍏Avoid food waste
🍏Save energy
🍏Buy local, seasonal food
🍏Don't use plastic kitchen sponges like these – they release microplastics into the sea

🐝Bumblebees need protection—and there's no-one better than the Bee Guy to explain how:

📢Exciting announcement! We've partnered with Richmond Council @LBRUT & Wandsworth Council @wandbc to enable residents to green their neighbourhoods through our street tree sponsorship scheme! 🌳

[Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social @zerohour_uk]

👏 Great to see Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus Vice-Chair @pippaheylings' introduce a Bill to protect chalk streams today in Parliament. We urge the Government to support her plan before we irreversibly harm these globally rare habitats.

👇 Hear more about Pippa's Bill below.
