Spot the digger 👀 This camouflaged digger is busy zipping up drainage ditches on the far side of our site. This will reduce erosion and reset the surrounding peat 😁💚

The news is out! We're so proud of our wonderful volunteers for receiving the King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS), the MBE-equivalent award for voluntary groups and all the amazing work that they do for Manx wildlife 📷 #TeamWilder #KAVS2024 https://t.co/ObmuJtKeqM

Some before and after shots of a BIG. Peat pipe😃 This eroding area has been reprofiled and the pipe entrance blocked, creating a lovely pool that will slow the flow of water and be a great wildlife habitat 🐦🌿

While reading the latest @_BTO mag I was pleasantly surprised to find a refreshingly honest article from @BiosphereIOM 🇮🇲 BTO Youth Rep @alexxkxng on the challenges of engaging young ppl with the natural world (not helped by the #Manx ☔️💨🥶). Keep fighting the good fight! 👌

2/2 Read the Cushag Code here: https://t.co/yZOwTrlwn7 and the Weeds Act 1957 (as amended in 2013) here: https://t.co/ddndzoTGfg

1/2 Cushag, our national flower🇮🇲is in bloom. An important native plant for invertebrates, it can be dangerous to livestock, esp if it gets into hay/silage. Tynwald amended the law in 2013, removing the obligation to pull it, unless a notice is served on you. See the Cushag Code:

What a treat to spend the afternoon at Beinn-y-Phott ⛰️ looking at the amazing work of @ManxPeat (Manx Peat Partnership). They’ve achieved amazing things in a relatively short period and at reasonable cost too! 💚 #MyBiosphere #IsleOfMan belated #BogDay trip @manxnature

Would you use the raft knowing a report has highlighted the water doesn't meet the minimum standards for bathing?

The Manx Wildlife Trust questions if the decision is incentivising residents to swim in unsafe waters.
