Hello Bluesky. We're new here. We'll share ideas, guidance, and opinions from innovative thinkers, authors, and campaigners, as well as veggie recipes and extracts from exciting new books.

We're big on pausing to notice the little things. So expect moss, plucky plants and seasonal loveliness too.

A wildlife charity has warned of the dangers of using artificial spider webs outdoors at Halloween.

"Please avoid the use of artificial spiderwebs when you decorate outdoors! They might look fun, but they can trap wildlife. Made of fine plastic, they are also terrible for the environment."

Exciting news for our Irreplaceable meadows campaign! 📢

This year we asked for your help to call on the government to add irreplaceable meadows to the Irreplaceable Habitats list.

👏 Thank you to everyone who emailed their MPs. Now we've got some good news to share...(1/3)

Just like a scene from a fairy tale, spotting one of these inspires childlike wonder that never gets old.

Who else still feels a rush of excitement at the sight of nature's magic? ✨

The power of small steps - start your day with a cuppa outdoors for better sleep. To spark creativity, open your sketchbook and draw.

And... "If you hear a voice within you say, 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." - Vincent Van Gogh

And for all the people who stop for tiny treasures...

🌿 Lichen that looks like it would be at home in a coral reef
🌿 A shooting star on a rock
🌿 A tiny - and very well camouflaged - feathery friend

Fungi flourish through mycorrhizal networks, reminding us of the beauty of connection.

Here's to nurturing strong bonds for our collective strength, just like these beautiful mushrooms and their tiny leaf companion 💚🌿

Here's to the people who let nature be,
Who skip the harsh chemicals, and let it run free.
For spaces where children and wildlife can thrive,
Embracing the beauty with a natural vibe. (2/2)
