🐕 Dog walkers! Ice, snow, and flooding make riverside paths and towpaths slippery and unpredictable.

Keep your furry friend on a short lead and if they do go in, don’t jump in after them.

Stay safe and enjoy your walk!

🚶 ❄️Plan ahead for winter walks along riversides. With ice, snow, and occasional flooding, conditions can change quickly.

Wear appropriate footwear and check for warnings before heading out.

We hope you’re enjoying the festivities! 🥂

If you’re heading out to bring in the new year, stay safe and take care near water.

Icy paths and moorings need extra care and attention at this time of year, especially after a drink, so take it slow and get home safely.

📢If you're heading out with friends for festive celebrations, please all look out for each other, especially after having a few drinks 🍷🍸🍺

Avoid dangerous routes walking by water and ensure that your friends do too, so that everyone returns home safely

If you see someone fall into a river or canal this winter:

• Don't get into the water
• Call 999
• Keep an eye on them and keep talking
• If you can, throw a line to them or use a tree branch to reach out to them.

Enjoying the festive season? If you're out walking along riverside paths or towpaths, remember: winter conditions can be risky, especially after a drink.

Flooded paths, ice, and snow make it easy to slip or lose your footing.

This holiday season, make sure you stay safe when around mistletoe. Although the tradition of kissing under a sprig is fun, this plant has a much darker side 🌱

Do you volunteer? #Volunteering can help boost mental health and is a great way to give back to your local community. Why not check your local council website for details about volunteer organisations? Or organise your own working party to improve an area near you?

To close on #NationalTreeWeek, we wanted to find out more about hedgerows. So many common British species of tree can be found in a hedgerow, and they're a great habitat for animals to find food or live in.

As #NationalTreeWeek continues, we've been learning more about evergreen trees
