Northern Corridor Community Volunteers 🌳🌲

Rotherham, England replaced 8 miles of mowed grass with wildflowers. They saved £25,000 in mowing costs a year and bees, butterflies, and birds showed up almost immediately. You don’t need to wait for your city to act. Start small in your own patch: 🏡 Let your front verge or sidewalk strip go wild this spring 🌻 Toss a few native wildflower seed balls into neglected spots 🌱 Stop mowing one strip and see what shows up 📧 Contact your city government. One email from one person has started initiatives like this before One person. One small patch. Real habitat. Your street could be next.

In our latest blog we explore pollinator-friendly actions taken by East and West Dunbartonshire Councils. Meadow management, bee bricks, yellow-rattle, mixed mowing regimes ... lots to admire. scottishpollinators.wordpress.com/2026/03/16/rin…

We joke about "saving the bees," but the reality is existential. Agriculture is the bedrock of society, and pollination is the bedrock of agriculture. Break the chain, and we don't just go back to the Stone Age—we go back to the dust.

Please consider letting a little patch of garden grow wild, as this allows wildflowers to grow. Some wild plants - like dead nettle, nettles and cuckoo flower - are vital food plants for moth and butterfly caterpillars. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/wildf… #wildlifegarden

Northern Corridor are developing plans for an active travel route to improve walking, wheeling and cycling connections between Stepps and Condorrat We’d like your feedback. Please take a few minutes to view the plans and complete a short survey at ow.ly/HHhY50Yr71h. Thanks

It's almost that time of the year! Please feed the bees 🐝

My greenhouse. It may have cost me 20 years of holidays but it’s been worth it! ❤️

A reminder that we will be in Windermere today from 9–10am for week 121 of the Strike Against Sewage.

For various boring reasons we have to say that these are Hugh Grant’s views not ours, and that we definitely haven’t printed his post out and put it in a little frame on our desk
