Beaver wild release: a milestone for nature recovery in England By Stuart Otway, Principal Officer in Natural England’s Complex Cases Unit and Delphine Pouget, Principal Officer in Natural England’s Species Recovery & Reintroductions TeamΒ  After centuries of…

Great news for beavers! 🦫

We are delighted to have received the first-ever licence for a wild beaver release in England.

We've introduced beavers at three places in our care through licensed, enclosed releases and have seen the amazing benefits these incredible animals provide.

Pink Rosemary 🌱 has the same flavour and fragrance as the blue varieties, but beautiful pink flowers instead πŸ’•
As you can see, the pollinators love it too! #insectthursday

I have emailed Marks and Spencer today after seeing this post. It is very sad to think that M&S money is funding such hateful content. #StopFundingHate

We received a free entry pass from #NTPride at our local #Pride last summer. Finally made use of the pass this weekend and had a rainy walk around @nationaltrust.bsky.social Stourhead. Loads of beautiful snowdrops, early signs of spring, and beautiful landscapes 😍

A black and white aerial view of a crowd. You need to zoom in to see that they are people, they just look like dots at first. 
I’m the top left quarter.

On this day in 1988, 20,000 LGBTQ people and our allies marched through the streets of Manchester to protest Section 28, which tried to stifle all mention of our lives.
At the time it was the largest gay rights gathering ever.

They’re back! After 2 weeks of males politely calling for females, and just 5 blobs of spawn, followed by a cold spell that completely stopped play, the frog gods have decided that today is the day. πŸΈπŸ†

With rain and average temps well over 5 degs there will be no stopping them now. 🐸🐸🐸

Just deleted the Twitter app, earlier than I planned but I can’t be on there given the owner’s attack on Britain. I’m waving goodbye to 30,000 followers which is terrifying for my work as a writer and my nature activism but it’s the right thing to do.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, where we honour those who have been killed.
350 trans and gender diverse people were reported murdered in the last year.
Violent crimes against trans people are on the rise.
This is the brutal end point of the hatred and vilification.
It has to end. πŸ’œ
