Our wildlife pond is coming on nicely & will hopefully attract a lot of little visitors! We already spotted a dragonfly hovering over the surface. Our drive to turn our premises into a more bio-diverse environment continues - watch this space! @GrowingGreenUK

70 days ago I started a petition to get #hedgehogs greater legal protection. 22 days ago it qualified for written response from gov. In 112 days petition closes. No support from conservation organisations etc. If you talk the talk, walk the walk. 👉🏻🦔petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6430…

So the Government have banned plastic straws and now they're doing a consultation on banning plastic wet wipes...I agree this is much needed action, but meanwhile people can cover their entire property in plastic?? Can we get some perspective here!! @Shitlawns
