October's autumnal magic is here! Look out for: • The brilliant shades of autumn colour • Fungi appearing (admire, don't pick, as some can be poisonous) • Spiders and their webs • Nuts and berries ripening for wildlife Take a moment to slow down and enjoy the natural world 🍂 📸Emma Varley

This week is #WorldWaterWeek. From rivers, chalk streams and ponds to our coastline and the chalk aquifer that supplies water to more than 1.2 million people, water is vital to both nature and communities across the National Park. 📸: Wayne Spring [1/2]

🧵 The ancient landscape at Dunwich Heath was devastated by wildfire in a matter of hours last week, but this was not an isolated incident.

After the devastating wildfire at Dunwich Heath, plans for recovery are underway and your donations are helping make that possible. We've raised over £350,000 already thanks to your generosity.

Dry. Very Dry. Wildfire risk remains high. If you spot an unattended fire, move to a safe place and call 999 immediately. Help prevent fires by removing all litter and never lighting BBQs or fires in open countryside. 📸: Chris Doyle
