In common with many individuals & organisations, we have decided to move away from using this platform.
Our only posts will be to reach out to those who we can't find elsewhere.
Details of how to contact us are here:

A huge thank you to @bristolparks team who achieved a tremendous amount of winter nature conservation work at Troopers Hill last week.
The work they do on the Local Nature Reserve is all directed by the conservation management plan for the site https://t.co/W1NA3Rm29c.

As St George Park is just down the road from Troopers Hill we thought you might be interested in this opportunity to talk about the future of the St George Park bowling greens. @bristolparks

[St George Community Association @StGeorgeCAssn]

What would you like to happen on St George Park bowling greens?
Come and have a look and have your say.

A surprise find in acidic,
unimproved grassland on the slopes of Troopers Hill today - some Earthtongues (Geoglossum sp.)! Not sure about the white bloom they were covered with...🤔@BritMycolSoc @TroopersHill #TwitterNatureCommunity

We recommend this talk on Bristol's Bugs by @mrraybarnett . https://t.co/GpF9WDwrQb @mshedbristol
We've loved Ray's moth nights on Troopers Hill.
This talk has the added advantage of being able to choose to go the M-Shed or stay in the comfort of your own home to join in online.

Thank you to volunteers from @EnvAgency who joined us today. They worked extremely hard on tasks to conserve Troopers Hill's important acid grassland and heathland habitats @bristolparks . A report and a link to photos are on https://t.co/jSFX80sqYV

[Friends of Troopers Hill @TroopersHill]

Many thanks to our regular volunteers who did a great job removing bramble and saplings from Troopers Hill's important acid grassland and heathland habitats on Saturday. A report and photos are on https://t.co/AuSRsG8D0n

We loved this sketch of Troopers Hill with the view over to St Aidan's and Wesley Memorial churches.

The Birch Collective run a really worthwhile project not far from Troopers Hill. They recently lost a lot of tools in a burglary. The good news is that their funding appeal to replace the tools has nearly reached its target. You can help via https://t.co/Ci8uh05RzS

You may remember that we supported the charity @ProtectEarthUK when they were raising funds to try to buy and protect Blackswarth Rd Wood. They are now looking at a site near Bath and this time there is no auction process. You can find out more on https://t.co/11ysKaLF9A

[Protect Earth @ProtectEarthUK]

Exciting news for people near Bath, we’re starting a new community woodland! Contribute to this crowdfunder, because if we can raise enough money to buy this 70 acres of disused farmland we can do our most amazing project yet! https://t.co/THx9zpqYcu
