Please help us build a picture of how widely invasive Rhododendron ponticum is still being sold in Scotland. Is it available at your local garden centre? If you spot it, please email a photo to scottishcampaigns@woodlandtrust.org.uk ➡️ buff.ly/6JAOte6 #INNS #BePlantWise #PurgePonticum

Very telling from the birdfood industry. Despite new RSPB/BTO advice on birdfeeding based on a solid scientific review, and RSPB taking a ££ hit themselves, EVERY major birdfood company is attacking/rejecting the guidance, claiming to know better, putting their incomes over conservation. Shameful.

The @nationaltrust.org.uk only rarely ask their members to take political action, but when they do, it’s seismic. Please take the NT’s action, email your MP demanding the Government protect 30% of the UK for nature by 2030: campaigns.nationaltrust.org.uk/page/186395/... bsky.app/profile/nati...

Nature = Future
Please share this important action

That's 95k! We're 95% of the way to 100,000 signatures on our petition, which means we get a ban on driven grouse shooting debated in parliament. Only 5k to go! Please share & sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

The @Telegraph excels itself today with the claim that @NaturalEngland is ‘ideologically wedded to concept of conservation’. This is our job, & we do it as a matter of legal requirement. Would be odd for a conservation organisation to do anything else. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...

A deeply disappointing government response to @wildjustice.bsky.social’s petition on banning driven grouse shooting, that even cites bullshit stats from the shooting industry Please sign the petition, let’s get it to 100k and force a proper debate: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
