Bulldozers could soon tear through this area of natural beauty to make way for the Norwich Western Link road.

We need more of this biodiversity, not less.

A tough week finished yesterday completing the NC500 bike ride. Stunning scenery, amazing wildlife and fun times. Will be giving the legs a well earned rest for a few days. #NC500 #CyclingNC500 #CyclingScotland

Spring has finally sprung on the Stroudwater Canal at #Fromebridge. Lots of flying insects and wildflowers, plus nonstop buzzards soaring overhead checking out what our #Volunteers are up to!

Citizen science in action!
Volunteers joined Kai'a and Pete to survey Riverflies on the River Frome - finding mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies.
We also saw lamprey, sticklebacks, and bullheads🐟
