The Govt's recent position on nature is deeply concerning. Nature cannot be seen as an afterthought or an obstacle to development; it is central to our economic growth.
Pleased to see @BeccyRSPB's strong message in The Times this week. @Natures_Voice

BREAKING NEWS // Angela Rayner has granted permission for M&S to demolish their Oxford Street flagship store, overturning a decision by the previous Secretary of State.
The chance to set a vision for a more sustainable and creative Britain that reuses its built-heritage has been squandered. Green growth? Not on this evidence.

10 volunteers dodged the showers yesterday for a morning of stag beetle loggery building in Wandsworth Common, as part of @wandbc Sustainable September! The log piles will provide a vital habitat for invertebrates, amphibians, plants and fungi, that live or feed on dead wood!

Deadwood is so important for #stagbeetles. Stumps, holes, rotting roots, dead limbs on a living tree and fallen trees are all forms of deadwood.
Consider what you can do in your garden to provide it for stag beetles

Please don't turn your lawn into plastic. Plastic grass reduces food & shelter for wildlife such as bees & butterflies; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More bit.ly/3wE67P8 🐝

📢🐶🐟Please be aware that many flea treatments contain chemicals which wash off your pet and are toxic to invertebrates and aquatic species. One drop of treatment is potent enough to kill millions of bees! 🐝Please keep dogs out of the water and away from the ponds and lakes.
