This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬 There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬 Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬 (Shared from Instagr*m with permission from 'swansofhampsteadheath')

This Thursday, we’re exploring Soho Hill, Hockley and Handsworth. From Harriet Samuel’s remarkable jewellery factory, a striking Arts & Crafts building, to a hidden mosaic and a Pugin monastery, uncovering the stories Birmingham chooses to ignore. #WalkingTour #Birmingham

If National Grid's hedge and tree felling last week alarmed or annoyed you, you could consider a donation to our @PylonsEAnglia fighting fund. We're opposing an even more damaging, 180km new pylons proposal than this one, for which 35km of hedgerows will need to be destroyed: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/legal-fees-f…

Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey. It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left. Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season. They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues. This is a horrific disregard for nature. (This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

Give A Shit About Nature
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

@BloozEXTRA Awful. Utility blight is only too common. Companies often fill holes with tarmac to quickly make the area safe & keep pedestrian access open. By law, they have a maximum of six months to permanently reinstate the paving. @BhamCityCouncil

Bankrupt council or not. How this is allowed is beyond thinkable. Complete disregard for the aesthetic of Colmore Row. One of the most prestigious thoroughfares in the city btw. Sickening.

@Bradford_St_Bhm @RosieP4 It’s hard enough getting urban trees to establish without this kind of vandalism. And you have to ask why is someone wandering around Digbeth the a chainsaw?
