@ClaireRaisin Or teleport you to another planet… Great photo!

I can't decide if this orchid wants to fight me or hug me!

@ClaireRaisin @ScienceatCZ @WildlifeCharles @c_birkinshaw Nothing beats misty Manchester!

It's a week of travel for @ScienceatCZ's Madagascar team. @WildlifeCharles is off to Madagascar and I'm off to Manchester! Looking forward to a day of project catch ups and discussing social data with @c_birkinshaw and the gang. (I reckon Charles has got a better view though! ☁️)

@BettyShmem Don’t fancy the flymo’s chances on that!

Pottering on the lumpy lawn.

@KateLea1000 Was it easier or harder than 35 years ago? With the South West coastal path under your belt, I bet it was a doddle!!

We have something very exciting to announce… 📣 The FIRST successful Coquerel’s sifaka birth ever in Europe 🐵 With these incredible lemurs on the brink of extinction, the arrival of Beatrice’s baby is a real landmark moment for conservation 🌍

@ShitChester Good to see the monkey/ seagull incident still being commemorated 🐒

We are back 🎉🎊🪅

@Raisinmeister Serves you right after all the fun you made of my flappy trainer mishap!! Who needs soles in Madagascar anyway?

When disaster strikes

PlantNetwork meeting at The Newt in Somerset last week… what an amazing place!

Exciting opportunity for a PhD student to work on the conservation of meta-populations of threatened Nepenthes species, such as those in our National Plant Collection @chesterzoo @Plantheritage eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

It’s a prickly subject – how do you plan the conservation of >30 threatened cactus species? 🌵 As you read this, we're developing an integrated conservation plan for Chile’s endemic Copiapoa cacti with conservationists, government bodies and world-leading cactus scientists 🌎

Happy #HumpDay 🐫 Today we'll be highlighting the three winners from the Horticulture category of the BIAZA Annual Awards 2022! Starting with @chesterzoo, who won Silver for 'Replanting Monsoon Forest' 🌴 Tree-riffic!

@Raisinmeister I’d rather have a large spider than a small mouse any day…

Thought I saw a mouse in the corner of my room this morning. Turns out it was a rather large spider! 🕸️

@BettyShmem Personally I prefer a bit of astroturf and a few knomes…

@BettyShmem It’s alright I supposed, if you like water and trees and green stuff…

Yeah...so...pretty chuffed with our new garden. #UrbanToOban

An excellent day spent at Chester Zoo discussing the conservation and cultivation of threatened Nepenthes @chesterzoo @NBGGlasnevin.

As part of @Darwin_Defra project - hedges will be installed to protect crops grown adjacent to the Agnalazaha Forest #Madagascar. The hedges will be made from 16,000 plants of native trees. Here are some of them growing in a very colourful nursery. @ScienceatCZ

@ClaireRaisin Looks too accessible to be real!!!

@EsseenPhil Well if he's split the reveal..... Check out this beauty 😍

WHAT. A. DAY. 🇲🇬

@ClaireRaisin What a beauty! Did it have those water drops on anyway or did you add them to make the perfect photo?

@ClaireRaisin Actually I think Chris’s tweet has just given a little hint….!

@ClaireRaisin you can’t keep us hanging on like that… is it animal, vegetable or mineral?
