Was really fun to have Countryfile down at Wakehurst the other week. Tune in to see the different aspects of our Nature Unlocked Program :)

With the 100,000-strong Restore Nature Now march today, the nature movement in the UK took a big step forward. Not only did the large NGOs mobilise; there were also thousands of people who love their local wildlife but who’d never attended a demo before.

The green giant stirs.

Another sordid chapter in of how the Wye - one of our most iconic rivers - has been allowed to die under a flood of chicken sh☠️t…
Our investigations reveal how intensive egg farms have drains running from their sheds direct into the river - down which the 💩 of 100s of 1,000s of 🐓 freely flows
😡🤬🤯

Lovely shirt film on waterbear about the loss of temperate rainforests in the Tongass National Park. Devastating to see how greed for short term gain is destroying the small pockets of these ancient ecosystems we have left.

[Tony Juniper @TonyJuniper]

The bit on the top left there about garden chemicals killing songbirds really caught my eye. Good that is getting in the paper & hopefully more of those products will remain in the shops unsold.

🚨 The Retained EU Law (REUL) Bill poses huge threats to our wildlife and wild places, with serious implications for environmental protections in the UK.

Find out what is happening today: https://t.co/2BvyVsaa5P

[Craig Bennett @CraigBennett3]

The #RetainedEULawBill returns to @HouseofCommons on Wednesday for Report Stage

It represents an unprecedented #AttackOnDemocracy and an #AttackOnNature

If @RishiSunak is serious about protecting both, he should withdraw this Bill, dreamed up by Jacob Rees-Mog, and think again

[Mathilda Digby @Madigby]

Thank you @guyshrubsole for this absolute treat of a read. Written beautifully and details amazing work being done across the UK 🌿

We know what needs to be done to replenish this land, I will dedicate my career to this cause! 🦫🦅

BREAKING: Wealthy landowner wins court case to extinguish the right to wild camp on Dartmoor - the only place where it’s been legal in England

This is an outrage & @Right_2Roam & @EveryonesStars are mobilising - follow them to join the rebellion
