Pesticides applied in our fields, end up in our soils, rivers and streams putting wildlife at risk. Permission to allow use of a banned pesticide must not be allowed. ❌

Our oldest and most important trees are vulnerable. Most #AncientTrees have no real legal protection in the UK.
Join the @WoodlandTrust's campaign and tell government to protect our most important trees! 🌳#LivingLegends https://t.co/TXIGXW9IQv

"These lush, humid woodlands, along the UK's western coasts, are home to weird & wonderful lichens not found anywhere else on Earth."🌲

Still using pesticides (bug sprays, weedkillers and fungal treatments) in your garden? Please don't, they're really harmful to bees. Download this free guide from @BumblebeeTrust on how to garden with bumblebees in mind, for a happier, healthier garden: https://t.co/bjuL3GIOaX

Not sure what I did wrong but my blue sprouting broccoli didn't sprout. However it's providing plenty of food for some late season caterpillars, so I'm just as happy 🐛

Emissions from #FossilFuel-based nitrogen fertilisers are contributing to the climate emergency.
I've signed the @SoilAssociation petition asking the UK Government to #FixFertiliser & take action

Scrapping #NeutrientNeutrality would expose England's most sensitive rivers to yet more pollution.

If Government were to do this, it'd undermine our most vital nature laws, the #HabitatsRegulations.

Please don't make this environmental error @RishiSunak

Farmers, Crofters, Organisations and Public are already signing up to the consensus. We need to bring as many as possible together in building a food & farming system fit for the future. If you haven’t already please do add your signature and let’s work together 🐂🦋🐑🐞🌾🐛🐖🌳

Today is the last day of the #BigButterflyCount @savebutterflies. I've just spent a very pleasant, peaceful 15 mins counting the #butterfly species in my garden. Lots of Gatekeepers on the oregano 🦋

[Prof Duncan Westbury @DuncanWestbury]

If this #WildflowerStrip was in the Countryside Stewardship scheme, from today (15th July) I could cut & still get paid. Wildflower strips are not usually for forage, so the cutting date should be delayed & only once every five years be cut mid-July. @NEFieldUnit @NE_WestMids

[Butterfly Conservation 🦋 @savebutterflies]

The #BigButterflyCount 2023 has officially started! 🦋

Our butterflies and moths need our help more than ever. This is why we are urging everyone to get out for the Count to help us conserve them! 💚

@TeeGrowingWild One of the cuckoo bumblebees perhaps, due to dark wings...? Field Cuckoo...? (But I have no idea of distribution in Mayo.) Compare with @StevenFalk1 's photos https://t.co/dt7wumId6i

Just watched two goldfinches picking the seeds from spent dandelion heads in my front garden. Wasn't ready with a camera, but here's my lawn the other day. #NoMowMay

[UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme @PoMScheme]

We're preparing a PoMS blog post on clover & its pollinators. Do any of our participants have good photos of bees on clover flowers that we could use on the website? Could be honey, bumble or solitary bees. Please get in touch if you can help! https://t.co/vFXzXETpSw
