Why @BCPCouncil? Why on earth would you do this?!

[wild.NG @Wild_NG_]

SAVED!!! We are delighted to announce our #poisonfreepavements campaign has resulted in Nottingham City Council agreeing to NOT routinely spray herbicides (glyphosate) on any streets across the whole of the Sherwood Ward in 2023.

It does feel like there is a national anti dandelion brigade hitting our green spaces and verges in the UK…

So sad to see this on my own university, after years of campaigning for more sensitive/reduced mowing: pics show Monday & Wednesday this week. @SussexUni @CTRH

@SallyLongford @adelewilliams @NayabPatel4 Thank you

[wild.NG @Wild_NG_]

A devastating act which must be challenged…
Sadly we’ve heard today that overnight a number of our street verges in nottingham have been chopped/mowed in a bee friendly zone. Any clarity on how this could have happened? @SallyLongford @adelewilliams @NayabPatel4

[Esther Musgrave-Brown 🍃💚🍃 @esthermusbrown]

Until Wednesday, this was a huge hedge in Sawston, South Cambridge, that was a haven for sparrows and other birds and wildlife. Why did you chop it down, @Redrow? Why in the middle of the nesting season? @ChrisGPackham, @RSPBEngland, @SouthCambs, @RobGMacfarlane

@adelewilliams Thank you 🌱🌱🌱

@TriciaHPH Our aim to a ‘caring for our streets’ approach. This includes removing problem plants (without the application of poison) which is healthy for people, families, pets and for wildlife 🌱🌱🌱

[wild.NG @Wild_NG_]

Our #poisonfreepavements pilot in #Nottingham is extending into its second year and we hope will also expend to new streets and areas. An incredible progress for our city in going #glyphosatefree and for our urban wildlife to thrive. Huge THANK YOU to all (see comments) 🌱🌱🌱

[wild.NG @Wild_NG_]

Missed our incredible urban hedgehog launch??
Fear not as you can tune in - at your leisure - to hear about how we can all help save our important mammals from national and local experts.
