The attractive wildflower displays around Leeds provide great habitat for insects & other wildlife🐝
Wildflowers are a valuable source of nectar for native bees, butterflies & other pollinators🦋
Tall grass & stems provide perfect hiding places for grasshoppers & meadow bugs🌿

The seed collection campaign is back! 🐿 Collect beech nuts, conkers, acorns and sweet chestnuts in your local parks. These will then be prepared for growth in LCC's plant nursery. In a few year’s time, maybe a seed you collected could be a part of one of our new woodlands🍁🌳
Just wanted to send a big thank you to all the childminders in Leeds for all you do for early learning & development of children, and in supporting our economy & public services by providing the essential care parents need to enable them to work. We couldn’t do without you!
The last 18mths have meant constant changes for everyone & at times it has been tough to find positives. One of the better ones has been the increased relaxed mowing & naturalistic planting in Leeds. Lots of value for wildlife & food sources for urban pollinators.

Following a government review, we have been informed that Leeds will remain in tier 3. We would again like to thank the people of Leeds for following the guidance and all the steps they are taking to keep themselves and each other safe. #togetherleeds@tomriordan @cllrjudithblake
