An amazing video of mining bees in #Preston #Park, #Nature is often much nearer than you might think! Have a look for flowers and insects this weekend as it's going to be cooler next week. #Brighton #Hove #Wildlife #Biodiversity
Did someone say mining bees? A huge collection of nests and masses of mining bees. I did sit and watch them for ages... Preston Park. @btnhovewildlife @SussexWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @30DaysWild @the_beeguy

Nature is an old hand at making new trees. Natural regeneration costs less, requires less human intervention & is more resilient than tree planting. It should be our default. So why was only 4% of England's new woodland in 2021-22 created this way? theguardian.com/environment/…

Please don’t mow or spray the dandelions. These wildflowers are often a lifeline for pollinators including bees, butterflies, hoverflies. They support over 50 insect species. Our little film shows the life in a small patch 🐝 More: bit.ly/428s34x

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 🌳

Chapel-en-le-Frith Morris, over the hill?? Certainly not, but we will be ON the hill (Eccles Pike) at 5.30am on May 1st to greet the sun. We can't guarantee the weather will be as gorgeous as in this video from 2018 but it's always magical even if misty. buff.ly/41QZDer

I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…
🌍 🏆📈 Atmospheric CO2 just hit the HIGHEST EVER level IN HUMAN HISTORY at Mauna Loa 🏆😰 423.01 ppm on Apr 6 2023 😰🏆 Up 3.84 ppm from 419.17 one year ago 😰 @NOAA live data: gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/mon… 🌍 Track CO2.Earth records @ co2.earth/co2-records 🌍

Make no mistake - we are also incredibly angry. We stand with @RSPBEngland in calling out the unprecedented attack on nature launched by UK Government over the last few days. We’ll be challenging this together and asking for our supporters to stand with us.

I estimate that in October, 50% of children – 7 million kids - will be in households that have to do without material necessities. If nothing’s done before another increase in Jan, the fuel poor could rise to 39m – including 4 out of 5 lone parents, pensioners and large families.
