Wildflowers aren’t just good for pollinators, they’re helping reduce crop damage and cut pesticide use in apple orchards.

The approach is low-cost, sustainable and proven. A great story for Nature-Friendly Farming Week!

Oil spills from war are spreading towards coral reefs and mangroves in the Strait of Hormuz.

Fossil fuel dependence puts people, nature and economies in harm’s way.

It's time to end that dependence and build a future powered by clean, decentralised renewables.

Strait of Hormuz attacks spill oil into Persian Gulf

As war disrupts one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, satellite images reveal that oil is spreading toward protected coral reefs and mangrove forests.

'Until last week, experts believed there was only one wild beaver living in Pensthorpe nature reserve, 20 miles outside Norwich. But just in time for Valentine’s Day, two were caught on camera going for a late-night swim together and grooming each other by the riverbank.'

"We often hear land described as “unused” — but to wildlife, no space is ever empty. 🌱🦊
Those quiet fields, overgrown corners, and wild patches are homes, hunting grounds, nurseries, and safe corridors for countless species."

Train just passed the old towering black poplar a mile or so outside the station and I'm reminded of how it feels to be nestled at its vast foot, touching riven bark, counting bracket fungi, listening to the Ashbrook. #naturematters

We need to challenge the bad stuff we see happening in the world but also look after ourselves. I don't like to think what would happen to my brain if I couldn't find peace and solace in nature 💚 #cherishnature #naturematters

‘The uncompromising attitude of those responsible for driving it forward….to admit no reasonable objection….Indeed, why should they when the whole system is being managed to their advantage?’
