Today @Natures_Voice, @wwf_uk & @WildlifeTrusts launch a new report delivered by @SAMSoceannews mapping for the first time carbon within UK waters. Summary report and recommendations 🧵👇 wildlifetrusts.org/news/charities…

With a massive 86% of England's rivers not meeting ecological standards, the return of beavers could be a game-changer for the health of our freshwater environment (and wider landscape). #BeaverVision

Two years ago, beavers were officially recognised as native species in England... but why are they still waiting to return to the wild? 🦫 Today we launch A vision for the return of beavers to England and Wales. 🐾 Find out more👉wtru.st/3yYgu6k (1/3) #BeaverVision

🌟 Today, the inspirational Sir David Attenborough has been awarded the Rothschild medal to honour and thank him for his extraordinary leadership and support for The Wildlife Trusts federation of charities over the past 60 years 🏅

Why should people care about Somerset's coast? 🌊🤔 #NationalMarineWeek is a great reminder that our UK seas and coasts are amazing — find out what some of our Wilder Coast volunteers think! @WildlifeTrusts #Coast #Sea #Nature

@The_RHS Personally love a verbena - although not native, great for pollinators and very cheery. Also agree with earlier ivy comment though.

Name the most underrated plant 👇

Exciting news from Wilder Humber!🌊 Our seagrass restoration team is trialling a new method in the Humber estuary🌱We're transplanting small sections of established seagrass meadows to new locations, supplementing our seed bag efforts🌍 @YorksWildlife @LincsWildlife @OrstedUK

This should in no way, shape or form be necessary but so pleased to see this action (and coverage) today: thousands of anti-racism protesters take to streets to counter far-right rallies 👇 theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

Spellow Library in Liverpool was needlessly set alight in yesterday’s riots, damaging an important community hub for local residents. Some lovely person has set up a crowdfunder to help get it back on its feet 👇📚♥️ gofund.me/b28ba16d

Did you know that peatlands are superstar habitats 🌟 🌎Help prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change 🪰Preserve biodiversity 🌱Minimise flood risk, 🫗Ensure safe drinking water They're also home to amazing wildlife! Have you spotted any of these recently? 💚

Fun wander around @WildLondon’s Camley Street Natural Park and their ‘The More You Look’ exhibit today before my train home this evening - our favourite had to be the sloth 🦥 - although you can’t go wrong with a beaver either…

Sort of heaven - a library dedicated just to peatlands. Niche? Maybe but wow the knowledge. It’s being populated from multiple collections by Hans Joosten.

Handful of photos from @BBOWT’s beautiful Grangelands nature reserve taken this weekend for #wildflowerhour: field scabious, self-heal, the understated but rather glorious lady’s bedstraw and finally a chalkhill blue on wild marjoram 🦋🌸

@Sealemonsrock They’re fab aren’t they. Nice in Rowntrees Park and t’other side of Millennium Bridge 👌

Love this new tansy beetle trail in York showcasing local artists. Meet viking tansy beetle.

Six lives saved as result of Welsh Government's decision to impose 20mph in urban areas. Surely worth a tiny bit of delay. That's six families that are not living through hell on earth. Let's make 20mph in urban areas the new normal. theguardian.com/world/article/…
