Look at this beautiful common frog (Rana Temporaria) found while scything the wildflower meadow this weekend! Stunning colour and disguise 💛 saved by not using a powered mower @SussexWildlife #amphibians #commonfrog #wildflowermeadow #scything

Making the most of nature’s carbon-capturing superpowers is vital to winning the fight against climate change.

RT if you think nature should be our #climate hero at #COP26 talks & beyond.

…if the Government commits to protecting, connecting and restoring 30% of land and sea for nature, this is what the future for people and wildlife could be (2/2) #COP26

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

This is what the UK looks like now – but it doesn’t have to be this way… (1/2) #COP26

[South Downs National Park @sdnpa]

Did you know Sussex has its own dialect? Once widely spoken, it's mostly gone the way of the dinosaurs.

But we think it's time to bring it back.

We're starting with...Dumbledore! Not a wisened wizard but old Sussex for bumblebee!

I echo Adrian’s thoughts. Excellent film, must see if you’re in need of inspiration for action! ✊#InvisibleHandFilm #RightsofNature

[Councillor Adrian Ross 💚 @CllrAdrianRoss]

Attended the screening of "The Invisible Hand" film about the rights of nature with other @LewesGreenParty councillors last night. Great speakers and debate afterwards too. Part of the @LewesDepot Climate Action festival for #COP26. Considering what @LewesDC could do...

[batstothefuture @batstothefuture]

The eyes of our European bat research network will be on #COP26 today as world leaders discuss halting deforestation. Old forests provide critical habitats for bats, and we need bats!🦇🌳

Is 2030 soon enough to #EndDeforestation? No, let’s hope for immediate action. Forests are entire #ecosystems that our climate, many communities, and millions of non-human lives depend on. We cannot afford to lose them. #NoMoreBlablabla #COP26 https://t.co/aa9WNUzFhQ

Happy Howl-oween! 🐺 (ok so it’s a bit of a ratty wolf…) see my comments below for how to use and reduce pumpkin ‘waste’ #pumpkincarving #waste #halloween thanks to the @WoodlandTrust

[Richard Dowling 🐝 @DowlingWildlife]

Domestic Flights in the UK should be banned given how small our Island is but nope, the Tories are encouraging short flights in the #Budget2021. That tells us all we need to know about their #COP26 "ambitions". 🌍🔥🌍🔥

It was great to have 3 scythes this weekend, one old, one borrowed, one new! We were treated to lots of wildlife (frog and toad moved safely from wildflower meadow to wild patch, meters away) 🐸 #volunteers #scything #wildflowermeadow #frog #toad @SussexWildlife @BBCSpringwatch

Found at South Malling Church Meadow. Just shows what excellent habitat churchyards can make, and how wildflower meadows benefit more than just pollinators! @BumblebeeTrust

A great opportunity to learn about #bats in sacred spaces around the world! FREE Webinar tomorrow #InternationalBatWeek

We NEED clean water, we MUST not pollute the environment we are fighting so hard to protect. We need clean water for our insects, birds and mammals, and our cold water swimmers and surfers! 🏊‍♀️🏄‍♂️ 🪲🦅🦫

[Lewes District Green Party @LewesGreenParty]

Disappointing our local MP voted against banning sewage discharge into rivers when our own local rivers are so affected.
Doubly disappointing to see the recent dreadful attack against democracy used to argue that this issue shouldn't be raised.

What an excellent showcasing of this govt’s entirely hollow commitment to protecting the environment…
on the eve of #COP26

Here’s a list of every MP who just voted to ALLOW water companies to continue dumping RAW SEWAGE in our rivers https://t.co/EG8L4OimOX via @evolvepolitics
