I’m a professional botanist. My field of work has low diversity, laps up privilege & flirts with discrimination. We need change not just for inclusion but for conservation. If anyone from a non-white/non-middle class background wants botanical mentorship please get in touch.

With continued dry and warm weather, the risk of #fires is high. Heading outdoors this weekend? 🔥 Don't light fires or fireworks 🍔Take a picnic instead of having BBQs 📞 If you see a fire unattended, get to a safe place and call 999 📷 @HantsIOW_fire #CountrysideCode

Keeping dogs on leads in the countryside protects thousands of livestock vital to our rural economy. ✅ Please make sure your dog is on the lead, in sight and under control this spring. Follow the #CountrysideCode for more: countrysidecode.org #RespectProtectEnjoy

Some habitats contain such a richness of life that we need to protect them at all odds 💚 Help your local communities preserve ancient #orchards by celebrating blossom this #BlossomWeek! 🌸 Use the map to find a #blossom event near you 👉 ptes.org/orchard-blosso…

The #countryside, #parks and the #coast are great places to exercise your dog. 🦮 Heading out this weekend? Please follow the #CountrysideCode to avoid disturbing #wildlife like ground nesting #birds. 🪹 gov.uk/government/pub…

Some people have been asking why at “only” 100 years old Coton Orchard is being called “ancient”. Steve Oram @PTES #Biodiversity Officer walks along the proposed C2C busway path & explains what makes traditional orchards an irreplaceable habitat #SaveCotonOrchard 🍎🍐🌳🚌❌

Are you heading out into the countryside this weekend?☀️ Please familiarise yourself with the #CountrysideCode & 'keep your dog under effective control to make sure it stays away from #wildlife, #livestock, #horses & other people unless invited.' gov.uk/government/pub…

Disturbance from dogs is a real problem for farmers. At this time of year pregnant sheep can miscarry their lambs when they're stressed. Please: 🐕 Keep dogs on a short lead 🐑 Give sheep space ❗ Remain calm around livestock Share to spread the word #RespectProtectEnjoy

This beautiful pony has died from laminitis as a result of unsuitable feeding. Please, if you encounter horses, never ever feed them. Their stomachs are complicated and delicate and "just one treat" can do a lot of harm (especially as you won't be the only person doing it). 💔

My first visit to @RSPBMinsmere today. Highlights for me were 2 Bitterns, and Marsh Harriers viewed from Bittern hide. Also, Avocets out on West scrape.

@Warkworthbirder Me too! My grandad had a copy of that book and I would draw copies of the birds from it.

World book day. This is where it started for me. A masterpiece. I think I knew every word and copied most of the pictures as a kid. So pleased my parents had this book. If not ...? So important to have books. pic.twitter.com/1sk3dH3JYj

Quiet @WeBS_UK count today but did spot a Water rail, which was a first for me.
