On Sunday 7th April 2024 LBCV is due to be working in the scrape on Walthamstow Marshes. This task will aid the Creeping Marshwort Helosciaidum repens. This location in Walthamstow Marshes Nature Reserve is one of only three in the UK that Creeping Marshwort can be found.

[Lea Bridge Conservation Volunteers @LBCV_London]

UPDATE 6th April 2024

The scrape is too wet to be worked in, so the task has changed to bed wall clearance at the Waterworks Nature Reserve.

[Bumblebee Conservation Trust @BumblebeeTrust]

Your kindness can kill a bumblebee 💔

📢 Please share! Bumblebee queens are starting to emerge from hibernation. British weather isn’t always ideal and people with the best intentions can cause more harm good. Let’s change that.

Creeping Marshwort is currently listed as Endangered in the Red Data Book for Great Britain. Threats include habitat loss, loss of grazing and lack of management.

[Bat Conservation Trust @_BCT_]

Most UK bat species evolved to use trees as roosts, while many also forage in woodland. In addition, trees provide excellent commuting habitats. Only 13% of the UK’s total land area is covered in trees compared to an average of 46% in Europe #NationalTreeWeek

[Forestry Commission @ForestryComm]

It's #NationalTreeWeek!

Share if you love trees, woodlands, and forests 💚.

It's #NationalTreeWeek! This year marks the 50th anniversary of the famous ‘Plant a Tree in 73’ campaign – from which The Tree Council was born! Visit our website to find out about free webinars, tree planting activities and much more!
