Breaking nature news! One of the largest river restoration projects in the UK has commenced in the Breamish Valley, Northumberland. Reinstating the meandering system - the project will bring huge benefits for wildlife, ecology and man https://t.co/3dgFdUvrNS @LIFEprogramme 🌊

Managing invasive species is vital to protecting our environment. It's also important to record and share INNS management data as well as sitings, to support all of our efforts to tackle INNS effectively. Use https://t.co/vmQzJHbsau to record management activity. @InvasivesSp
