Our Coronation Living Heritage Fund is awarding £2.5m to plant 130,000 trees for local communities 👑

@HantsConnect worked with Trosnant Infant and Junior School pupils to design and plant their first micro wood – creating a biodiverse outdoor classroom.

On the eve of #COP26Glasgow, this is simply unbelievable! "Weeds" underpin biodiversity in our cities, help clean our air and reduce flood risks. 🌱 It's time to stop the war rhetoric and learn to live WITH nature, not AGAINST it.

Sewage is not the only destruction wrought by the water industry.

Chalk streams are the rarest river habitats on earth. In total there are just 225 most of which, 85% are to found in southern England. This is what we have done to them

As you sleep tonight think to the future.

The State of the World’s Trees tells us that 1/3 of tree species are threatened with extinction.

Now we move from information ➡️ action.

"Between a third and half of the world’s wild tree species are threatened with extinction, posing a risk of wider ecosystem collapse"

The State of the World's Trees report is published today. It is a call to action for better conservation of the world's tree species.

[Fauna & Flora @FaunaFloraInt]

The landmark first-ever conservation assessment on all the world’s trees is here. With at least 30% of tree species at risk of extinction, the report identifies where conservation action is needed most urgently.

Glyphosate is banned in French cities like @villedeblois since 2017, and there are no health or access issues. How? A combination of pavement maintenance, alternative removal methods, selective weeding to mitigate costs and public engagement leading to a better acceptance. 🌱

'A cornflower in the Netherlands is not necessarily the same as a cornflower in Italy. For example, the chemical composition of the pollen or the nectar may be different, which affects the interaction with insects.'

A reminder to check seed source when sowing wildflowers 🌼

[GlobalTreesCampaign @globaltrees]

These seeds were collected earlier this year by our partner @Voakajy... any guesses as to which species they are? 🤔🌱

We'll give you a clue: the species is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List and is only found in northern Madagascar... post your ideas below!

We’re thrilled that botanist Melvin Smith, whose work is vital to the survival of the Critically Endangered pencil cedar, has been crowned a Disney Conservation Hero by @DisneyConserves. Congratulations, Melvin! Read more here: https://t.co/jGOpcpWQLm

Ahead of #WorldEnvironmentDay we have been delving into four GTC projects that are restoring populations of threatened trees as part of wider ecosystem restoration initiatives.

Wow! This beautiful blossom belongs to the Critically Endangered Bukharan Pear, Pyrus korshinskyi.

Small, isolated populations of the species survive in Central Asia, where we're working to reduce threats and grow more trees.

"...we cannot see the beauty, the normality in letting our parks, our lawns and roadsides fill with flowers and sweeping grasses. We say we love nature, but we only seem to like it when it is managed."

Interesting article, worth a read in the last few days of #NoMowMay

[Sophie Leguil @SLeguil]

@NovelFinds @morss_alex After writing this 👇I was shocked to get messages of concerned people saying that local residents have been writing to councils, asking them to plant seed mixes on road verges etc. It could lead to huge biodiversity loss. 😰 https://t.co/kFHV8Bcdhp

[GlobalTreesCampaign @globaltrees]

This #InternationalBiodiversityDay we're highlighting just some of the 15,000 tree species that have been shown to be threatened with extinction...

My folks are rocking #nomowmay!
Garden looks phenomenal with 1815 cowslips, 405 primrose plants, 21 hybrids, 25 pink primroses (+0,000s daisies ) & Pyramidal Orchid rosettes. It looks stunning, smells amazing and is buzzing with life #naturaltherapy #wildflowerhour

Phoenix atlantica is one of Cape Verde's five native trees. It's a vital source of shade and its leaves & fruit are used locally.

We're working with local NGO Biflores to protect this palm from a variety of threats on Brava Island. For more: https://t.co/1we7lPYLcx

For those of you that haven’t heard it’s #NoMowMay!

Unfortunately, I’ve recently moved to a house in the city with no garden. So, for those of you lucky to have some luscious turf please consider taking part! 🌼

The benefits you ask? Well, read on... (1/3) @Love_plants

[Re:wild @rewild]

St Vincent is suffering a series of explosive volcanic eruptions.

Your support is urgently needed to rescue wildlife, restore water supplies & to provide teams on the ground with safety equipment.
