By piling leaves up in a corner of your little green space, you'll create a place for hedgehogs and insects to hide and hibernate. More tips to help garden wildlife this autumn: https://t.co/A4eHFvpxf1 🍂

Boo is one of the kindest dogs. She is incredibly intuitive and seems to know what everyone (dog or human) needs and tries her best to support them in the moment. No cats or children under 10 for Boo. #k9hour

Boo is a relatively small lurcher, cream coloured and short haired. We think she is about 18 months old. She has a wonderful nature, is really friendly with people and doesn’t seem nervous at all. She is a calm, friendly dog.

Mornin’ folks.
We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on.
Please retweet so more are more informed.
Thanks good people.

Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can hoover up over 100 invertebrates every night!

🚨 Politicians: turn the tide for nature 🚨
With a #GeneralElection on the horizon, ALL political parties must commit to taking action for nature - before it’s too late.

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝
A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝
How long until it's gone? Ways to #BeatPollution and take #climateaction:
🦀 Support beach clean-ups
♻️ Reduce. Reuse. Recycle
🌏 Avoid single-use plastic, and unnecessary or non-recyclable packaging
🌳 Celebrate special occasions with tree-planting not balloon releases
There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝
🆘 Koalas are barely clinging on. Scientists estimate that they may be #extinct as early as 2050! We can’t let that happen—not on our watch. 🐨 Will you join us in the fight to save koalas?
Fourth time’s a charm? For the third time on Wednesday, MPs voted against amendments put forward by the House of Lords to #REUL – the Retained EU Law Bill – which leave crucial protections for nature at risk of being weakened in the future. (1/3)
It's so important this time of year to recognise the difference between:
a hedgehog who is seen out in the day because the nights are too short for her to sufficiently forage for her needs
and
a hedgehog who is seen out in the day because she is dying and desperately needs help.
