Called out this pm to wonderful @WildSheffield Wyming Brook Nature Reserve - people with bbqs & fires on the go. Sorry folks, but a Nature Reseve is just NOT the place for this. Please don't camp there either, we literally end up dealing with the cr@p people leave behind.

For those interested in our archaeological excavation of the POW camp at Lodge Moor last summer, the final report is now available to download and view here: archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/library/browse…

The official bird nesting season is now well under way, and despite the weather today, many birds will be incubating their eggs - so please keep your dog on a short lead when visiting the countryside this weekend #birds #wildlife #countrysidecode #BiodiversityCrisis

Will you pledge to avoid peat products in your garden in 2023? By leaving peat in our bogs, we can help tackle the nature and climate crises. Be a hero 👇 💚 #PeatTwitter wildlifetrusts.org/pledge-peat-fr…

With spring well and truly in the air, we're reminding everyone that not all birds nest in trees, so dogs need to be kept on leads. theguardian.com/environment/20…

A fantastic 33 species of bee were recorded last year at Wadsley and Loxley Common, by the keen Commoners. Their list included Clarke's Mining Bee, Bilberry Mining Bee, Brown-footed Leafcutter Bee and this lovely Vestal Cuckoo Bee.

11th March marks the anniversary of the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864 when Dale Dyke Dam burst, releasing a torrent of water that killed at least 240 people. Our film tells the story of that night and takes a modern look at flood management youtube.com/watch?v=Sai2Va…

Redmires and Hill 60 looking lovely in the sunshine - but it doesn't look like winter has finished with us yet......

Did you know that even the friendliest of dogs can threaten our wildlife? 💔 The Wildlife Trusts and @DogsTrust are asking people to keep their pooches on leads. This will protect some of our most vulnerable species, like nesting birds. 🐦 wildlifetrusts.org/news/pet-owner…

Check your diaries! The dates for our next Community Archaeology Series are here! This is your chance to investigate the industrial history of the mills of the Upper Don Valley in Sheffield. Ready to sign up or want to know more? Our eventbrite is live: eventbrite.co.uk/e/archaeology-…

Water voles are just one of the species on the brink of extinction within the UK. We're working hard at Redmires reservoir with our partners @YorkshireWater to protect water voles and create new habitat #MondayMotivation

Water vole numbers have been declining faster than any other mammal in the UK, so please take action for nature and keep your dog on a lead when visiting Redmires reservoirs. Thank you @YorkshireWater #wildlife #watervoles

BREAKING NEWS: A new report by The @WildlifeTrusts published today reveals that #HS2 Ltd have massively miscalculated the damage they are doing to nature and overvalued the amount of good that their remediation works will do. Read the full story here: bbowt.org.uk/news/hs2-got-i…

Winter is a difficult time for water voles, freezing temps and scarcity of food means they have to spend more time foraging for food. Keeping your dog on a lead when visiting Redmires will reduce the disturbance suffered by water voles and increase their chances of survival.

Here more about this on @BBCr4today at 8.10am, with my colleague @JoanEdwards1 @WildlifeTrusts and @TonyJuniper @NaturalEngland businessgreen.com/news/4066327/f…

Just testing! Our Heritage Highways project has been installing new mounting blocks, like this one at Stonycroft bridleway which meets with the approval of a local rider.
