Posting this again as it is nesting time. Dogs on leads near breeding areas - PLEASE 🙏🙏

30,000 tonnes of waste does not appear overnight. We need the Environment Agency to fess up & tell us the dates that this site was reported to them & when they physically & legally shut it down.

There is a repeated pattern of the EA not acting to shut sites down & allowing tens of thousands of tonnes of waste to be dumped into nature. At Hoads Wood it took them 6 months to act, at Kidlington at least 3 months and at Stapleford Tawney on the River Roding it took a year & even then they only acted when I set up a petition & got the media involved.

Lawyers for Nature is calling for a simple duty on the EA to shut down all significant illegal waste sites in days, not months or years, & to remove any waste dumped after they are informed about a site. We think this is reasonable; if you agree, please sign & share this petition.

This little cactus looks like it’s creeping away after committing a crime

Has anyone else seen more than one acorn on a single peduncle (stalk)? These are all on the same tree. @thetreecouncil @TheKentAcorn

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

When a 200-year-old oak tree collapsed in Coventry in October 2023, local residents Patrick and Melanie decided to sponsor a tree nearby to honour its legacy 🌳

By sponsoring a new oak tree, Patrick and Melanie hope to revive this vibrant ecosystem and bring life back to their street.

There are so many reasons to sponsor a street tree - what's yours?

@pondsntrees Agreed possibly our most important plant providing late nectar & berries during the winter + cover for hibernating insects & essential for the Ivy Bees 🐝 which mimic Wasps

@drhingram Very much like his cousin, the tree...

[Havant Borough Tree Wardens @HavantTree]

@BloodNelsons @TheKentAcorn No, that's a different plant. Wild garlic (ramsons) is native to the UK. Three-cornered leek is an import. Both edible.

The FREE plastic tree guard recycling hub is taking place this Thursday and Friday (5 & 6 June) at @EssexWildlife's Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough.

Around 5.6 tonnes of plastic was collected at the 2024 hub 👏.

There are trees, and then there are trees so special that they stand on their very own podium. This one is a treasure in every season, but adorned with the freshest, brightest new spring leaves, shining in the early morning sun, it's hard to imagine it ever looking more perfect.

[The English Oak Project @TheKentAcorn]

The US State with the most oak tree species is………

TEXAS, with at least FORTY EIGHT

This is the Live Oak at the Alamo, San Antonio 🤠🌳

[The English Oak Project @TheKentAcorn]

The Escley Oak - Michaelchurch Escley, Herefordshire 🌳

One of the largest and oldest oaks in England.

It looks as though it has two separate trunks. However this massive tree is hollow, thus creating this illusion.

@treemissions Are you sure about that?
0.00018055555555555557 trees per mile X 2,445 miles = 0.441 trees.

[Havant Borough Tree Wardens @HavantTree]

@iwgardendesign @treemissions Calculations are usually based on large trees. It takes years to get to the point where they make a significant contribution. Even if trees are planted (they aren't always) there is no guarantee they will not be cut down.

@GaelMyrica @treemissions A lot of trees planted are neglected and die.

[Eastleigh Borough Council @EastleighBC]

Exciting project at Stoke Park Farm to create newt habitats https://t.co/gFBfjd0Xgb

@WildlifeTrusts @WCL_News No mention of grey squirrels. They are a widespread problem and not only on nature reserves.
