Dear councils, Are you helping restore 30% of nature by 2030? By cutting verges annually like traditional meadows, and not spraying, 1000s miles could become beautiful wildflower havens, while ensuring driver visibility prioritised. Pic courtesy @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

The autumn equinox is here in the northern hemisphere, meaning that the new season has officially begun. This woodblock print by Hiroshige captures the colours and feeling of autumn beautifully.

Got plans for results day? Keep them safe. If you're cooling off after getting your A Level results, only swim in designated swimming spots. Most of London's rivers, canals and lakes don't have lifeguards. Share LFB's water safety advice:

Bumblebees can only fly for 40 minutes between feeds. So growing just one nectar-rich plant could be the pit-stop that saves a bee. Helping bees, butterflies, moths, and other pollinators is also a great way to connect with nature! More ideas: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/con...

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 21: Snowy Bridge Today’s advent calendar treat is a woodblock print titled Yuhi Hill and Drum Bridge at Meguro by Japanese master printmaker Utagawa Hiroshige. The unusual arched bridge in this wintry landscape was known as a ‘drum bridge’ because of its shape.
