Conservationist through and through, think I have green blood. My passions are trees and seas: I’m a Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing) leader and a BSAC Marine Champion. I love the underwater world: exploring and conserving it and spending time with sharks

There's a by-election in Manchester and the Greens are going all in. A two-horse race between Hope with the Greens, or division under Reform.

If you are able, and willing, please consider donating towards the cause.

I told her, as a scuba diver, I’ve promised fish I dive with that I’ll help protect them. If our government signed this treaty like 81 other countries, we would be part way there…

There’s nothing extreme about wanting a functioning NHS, a fair distribution of wealth, and a liveable planet.

New ways of helping our iconic elderly tree: a bit like us all encouraging our elderly relatives to keep being active, staying young at heart and finding new ways to encourage and help them 😊 #majoroak #rspb #rootingaround #sherwoodforest

What a super scurry of squirrels at Sutton Lawn park yesterday! I counted 10! They are much maligned but these little beauties were just there, nibbling and burying their acorns and I thought they were ace 🩶🧡🩶 (zoom in to count if you want!)

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

“Every single day you can make an impact on how you live” indeed Dr Jane, you made a memorable impact on hundreds of chimpanzees lives. Thank you for all you gave them and us

So many people were understandably upset at the loss of the #sycamoregap tree. Take a look around your local area, at trees that are struggling, imagine losing them….. please go out & help your neighbourhood trees, water & care for them during this difficult time, they need our help 💚 #heatwave

Is anyone else noticing lots of tiny, young conkers on the floor under Horse Chestnuts this year? Do we think it is because of the lack of rain earlier in Spring? 😕 #climatechange

When getting a resin-bonded gravel drive, I worried toads/frogs might not be able to access my garden, so I put a toad ramp in. Wondered if it needed to be better positioned today but lifting it up, this little fella said it was in just the right place to rest under 😀🤎 @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

So as we rush through June, do remember the @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social inspiring initiative this month #30dayswild - all about trying something “wild”, outdoors, connecting you to nature every day in June. Lie back & look at the clouds, sit under a tree etc slow down, relax & enjoy nature 😊💚🪲🦋🦇

Isn’t it interesting and also annoying how so few of these brilliant green councillors getting elected got reported? Who else is sick and tired of the biased media?
🚀 Following Thursday's election we've reached a new record high 859 councillors on 181 councils!

💚 The Green Party is the only party offering a real alternative to the tired old parties.

Join the Green Party today to help us keep delivering real hope and real change ⤵️

#nomowmay has been a success (as always) in my garden, lovely buttercups, ragwort, Fox & Cubs plants have been enjoyed by pollinators galore & the birds have been catching them & feeding their young. Areas will be cut back but long areas will be left throughout the summer #30dayswild #wildlifegarden

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join please me? act.gp/3B9jU74

“The figures may not add up but these are the ones we plucked out of thin air” is pretty much what this clown said on his free advert on @itvnews.bsky.social last night. Why does he get so much free advertising?

#NoMowMay doesn’t mean you have to have a wildlife jungle, just leave a few areas of your lawn less tidy; don’t overly trim the hedges (if you’ve got one) whilst birds are nesting in them & relax & take time out in a nature reserve rather than a show-space for weed killer & power tools #beemorewild
