Good rivers are messy. They are fringed by trees, harbour fallen trees & are full of different plants. So many habitats in this bit of semi-wild river. The #river did this all on its own because it was NOT obsessively tidied up

@GoltonStewart experience.arcgis.com/experience/e83… We deserve cleaner rivers and better environment standards. Taking back control seems to be an excuse to flush environmental concerns down the drain.

Craneflies, a thread... It looks like we have reached the time of year where the media publish scare stories about the annual emergence of certain species of cranefly (daddy longlegs). This happens every year (the cranefly emergence and the anti-bug stories).

What if I told you there was a single intervention we could deliver in our cities that would cool them during heatwaves, reduce flooding, scrub pollutants from the air, boost biodiversity, improve public health, and even reduce crime? You wouldn't believe me. But it's true.

Covid memorial - how about we plant a new forest instead of building something out of stone? A living tree for every person who has died. A place to sit, reflect, breathe... A place that truly reflects where we are right now. #covid #climate #RememberTheirNames @LibDems

By leaving deadwood in community spaces and woods, land managers & councils can provide homes for all sorts of insects, mosses, fungi & lichens, as well as vital bird & bat nesting sites. It's also easy #climateaction⁠, as deadwood locks up carbon for years! #wildlife #nature

Let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insects species, and are a great early season food source for pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies. No need to mow and ps don't use weedkiller. More: bitly.com/2FYQUhp RT if you're on board 🐝

It'll be starting in a few weeks: councils' relentless over-mowing of public grassy areas. Dandelions, celandines, clover - humming with life, lifelines for struggling pollinators - mown down into 'neat and tidy' grass deserts. Who wants their council to #saynotothemow this year?

Regular reminder, as we enter half-term in lockdown, that the U.K's play infrastructure is generally poor, and that this sends a strong message about our priorities as a society - not children, families, or people on low incomes. Public luxury is possible for all. Demand it.

“If trained to nature from an early age, could a mind be freed from a vendetta against the world’s creatures?” Barbara Kingsolver in, Unsheltered. I believe yes. Please ask your MP to encourage the Dept of Ed to say yes to a #GCSENaturalHistory 🙏🙏👍👍 @OCRexams @CarolineLucas

Please say no to plastic grass. It: 🐝 Offers no food & shelter for wildlife, unlike real lawns 🌱 Has a high carbon footprint - while real grass captures carbon ⚠️ Wears out & ends up in landfill 🐬 Sheds microplastics, which wash into rivers & then the sea 💦 Worsens flooding
