I just cycled past a new build house that used to have an amazing old native #hedgerow It has been replaced with a wooden ranch fence & they have attached an insect hotel similar to this. The disconnect is huge. #BiodiversityCrisis#hedgerows
Happy International Credit Union Day to all the members, volunteers and colleagues around the world! ๐ Celebrating financial empowerment ๐ค #hsscu#ICUDay
I can't believe 16 people have signed up for my *Irish Bees for Beginners* webinar next week. When I announced it, I fully thought I'd get 2 people, both of them being my Mam, logging in off her phone AND tablet!
Attendance is FREE or pay what you want.

Not everyone appreciates the Dodder โgreenwayโ treatment and vegetation clearing. Bike lanes should NOT take away from our riverine corridors and wildlife. Bike lanes should take from roads, not nature. Lots of wildlife driven out of the Dodder. #Greenwashing ๐ญ
@glendoherpark@sdublincoco Very little respect or value is attributed to our natural environment by LAs, ripping out mature vegetation at this stage without an extremely good reason is gross negligence
Whose โvisionโ was it 2 rip out the hedgerow on the #N81 margin currently in progress ? What a lunatic plan 2 remove over 50 mature trees & interlinking hedgerow which capture carbon? #Money2flush@sdublincoco have torn up their pages in their Dev Plan on climate & green infras.
Notification today from my publishers that my 2nd book
'The Tales of Old Billy Badger' is due out on the 1st Dec.
Not a picture book, but one of stories of badgers, otters, foxes & other creatures & their many adventures.

Herculean efforts this morning from volunteers to collect and remove 200 bags of rubbish from a "swamp" blighting one of the tributaries of the River Dodder in Tallaght.
The Dodder Action Group says this is the largest single clean up it has ever done.
