After a productive @DalesValeRN meeting this morning, explored spawning potential for @YorkshireWater reservoir to support a wild #trout population. Hopefully some eggs baking low & slow. Winter #wildfowl a constant accompaniment...

Dear councils, please support the push to restore at least 30% of nature by 2030. Easy win: prioritise biodiversity over non-essential mowing, and don't spray or use plastic grass. Let's give wildflowers and pollinating insects (and ourselves) a chance 🐝

What a great weekend! Church Field buzzing with families having fun learning more about the environmental challenges we face locally and globally. Thanks to everyone especially St Peter’s for use of its wonderful wildflower meadow

Trees keep things cool! 🌡️ As well as absorbing water, trees also release it as water vapour through evapotranspiration from their leaves, which produces a cooling effect. They also provide shade for the ground and buildings, resulting in further cooling and less energy usage😊

Otter spraints (the posh name for Otter poo!) found on the River Mersey last week. Otters are apex predators and indicators of healthy habitat. Otters are hard to spot so searching for spraint is a good way to survey for them. #GMGreenCity @GMGreenCity @natural_course

WE DID IT!!! Wolvercote Mill Stream in Oxford will become the UK's 2nd designated river swimming site! 🥳 We will get regular water quality testing from this May, and @thameswater @EnvAgency and @OxfordCity must work together to make the water fit to swim in. Time to celebrate!

Is habitat restoration effective for brown trout and salmon populations? Lizzie Thomas has analysed results from 51 projects, and her assessment says yes, it really does work, at small and large scales alike! >> wildtrout.org/wttblog/is-hab…
