Cath Hodsman Did u know?Our veg beds have 2 larger-than-life neighbours.A couple of 🦡 live in a sett,yards away from our veg beds.We love them,but we've had to think creatively,to ensure their worm foraging forays don't impact our veg.Voile play-pens encourage them to lk elsewhere in our garden for food.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🦡
Shannon du Plessis, KruShan Foundation Co-Founder Thank you for standing with us, for believing in community‑rooted conservation, and for choosing a future where these remarkable birds continue to waddle, bray, and raise their chicks on a coastline that still feels like home. #birds 🦑 🌎 🌿 #NotBy2035 #penguins

Botanical University Challenge 🌱🌾🌍🌺🍄🌳🌲🌿🍃🖌🐡 #UKFungusDay What better at the start of autumn than fungi? From iconic large multicoloured mushrooms to tiny, weeny, hardly visible ones, time for fungi to get spreading their spores. Want to know more about fungi? Why not try @britmycolsoc.org.uk as a start - local groups, workshops?

Cath Hodsman Did u know?As the climate heats up,more insects will be on the wing on more days throughout the year,so it's important to have food available for insects,like pollinators,on as many days as possible.Autumnal floral suggestions for 🇬🇧:Campanulas, Erigeron,Red Valerian,Plumbago, Asters & Salvias. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍
juli g pausas In Mediterranean ecosystems, fire-sensitive species live in rocky areas, not because they prefer them, but because they are fire refugia. Yet, sometimes fire is intense enough to get there, reducing the population size Juniperus phoenicea, E Spain #IFSegorbe 🧪🌍🔥🪴🌱🍁🌳🪴 #plantsci wildfire
Point Blue Conservation Science 🦭🧪🌎 #FarallonFriday update: After tagging 75 California sea lion pups, our crew moved to West End Island and tagged 200 northern fur seal pups in just 4 days! Fur seal pups are smaller but much feistier, and more similar in attitude to gremlins than sea lions! #FarallonIslandsNationalWildlifeRefuge

Cath Hodsman Did u know? Insects suffer from negative P.R, with headlines like "swarm", or "invasions". When large emergences of insects like White Cabbage Flies happen,don't think of them as an "invasion" - such huge abundances of life are a boon to garden ecosystems by feeding small souls like 🕷️,🐦⬛,🪲,🦇,🐸. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍
