The Forest of Biologists

(1/3) Welcome to The Forest of Biologists. We are excited to launch this new #biodiversity initiative from @Co_Biologists, aiming to counteract nature loss, and safeguard some of the most critically endangered #ecosystems for future generations.

We’re shining a spotlight on our partner The Woodland Trust & their free tree packs scheme helping schools & community groups across the UK bring nature closer to where people live and learn. Know a group that could benefit? Share the link bit.ly/49HtrRI Deadline August.

@Co_Biologists' Sustainability Conferencing Officer Teo shares insights on 'Innovative ideas for the future of sustainable events', a competition which reveals a global perspective on how to redesign academic events to minimise their environmental impact. doi.org/10.1242/bio.06…

Don't miss the 15 May deadline to apply for a grant from @Co_Biologists Fund for Innovations in Sustainable Conferencing. The grant supports ideas that enable biologists to collaborate productively while minimising their impact on the environment. biologists.com/sustainability…

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and as a proud partner of the @WoodlandTrust, we’re encouraging everyone to take a moment for their wellbeing by getting out in nature. Use the Woodland Wellbeing checklist as your guide to step outside and boost your mental health this week.

From one centenarian to another: we wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday and thank him for all he has done to aid people's understanding of and - even more importantly - appreciation for the natural world.

Half of the UK’s hedges have been lost since the 1950s. In partnership with the Woodland Trust, we’re proud to support the protection & restoration of the UK’s hedgerows. Share this post or help a school/community group get a free hedge pack through the Trust's free trees scheme.
