With the temperature set to soar across the UK we are asking you all to offer some shallow bowls of water for hedgehogs and other wildlife - pop in a few pebbles to ensure insects can escape. Please share!

Leaving bramble on marginal land, edges & corners boosts biodiversity year-round. It provides shelter & nest sites for thrushes, robins, warblers; flowers for pollinating insects; berries for badgers, foxes, birds; food for 240 species of insects & mite 🐝

"All we are saying, is give weeds a chance!"

"Weeds" get a bad press but they can be nectar and pollen sources for #bees #butterflies and other #pollinators

So put away the #glyphosate & other #herbicides & learn to live with them.

RT if you think we should #GiveWeedsAChance

For #WorldBookDay 📚 we're recommending this brilliant, moving insight into caring for a loved one with dementia, and not only because it was written by our charity's founder. Find out how Sally discovered the #PowerOfPlaylists by picking up a copy 👉https://t.co/pAQc68vfmE

"[...] my mum, who hadn’t moved or spoken for over a week, suddenly started to bop her head in time to the music."

A great read about how certain songs can remind us of embarrassing or unhappy memories with a wonderful testimony about the #PowerOfMusic💚

Police bans on #ExtinctionRebellion protests in London is an unlawful constraint of our rights to #FreedomofExpression and peaceful assembly.
Protesters' rights must be respected and their calls for urgent #climateaction heard.

Britain has lost many of its ancient hedgerows over the past 50 years. Wildlife habitats destroyed, carbon dioxide-soaking plants gone, the countryside left bleaker. If you can plant even a small native hedge, please do. If you have one already, congratulations - treasure it!

[Richard Bradford @dorsetandbeyond]

Lovely to see Spindle brightening up #Dorset's hedgerows for this week's #wildflowerhour. Here at Duncliffe Wood in the care of @WoodlandTrust. @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour @DorsetAONB

This sounds amazing!

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

”World losing area of forest the size of the UK each year.”
We should of course be planting as many trees as possible. But equally important - and hardly ever mentioned - is to leave the existing ones standing and to leave the natural habitats intact. https://t.co/0EGDMZY7vf

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!
I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower.

Hooray for white storks nesting in Britain again – hopefully more conservationists and farmers can be helped to follow @kneppcastle and @isabella_tree's example and do such bold and practical work https://t.co/3BNZumcXDY
