Today is #NationalMeadowsDay ! Meadows are an important habitat for many bat species. Creating a mini­meadow is a great way to attract more insects into school grounds, forest school area or garden. All you need is a suitable area and some wildflower seed. buff.ly/46rtywW

We know of at least 115 MPs have been contacted by their constituents via our campaign. The @HouseofCommons voted against the amendment. The #REUL Bill returns to the @UKHouseofLords next week. You can still write to your MP. We need an environmental non-regression amendment bats.org.uk/news/2023/06/l…
