It's been another hot week in #NorthWales for people and wildlife alike! Here's three simple ways you can help wildlife in hot weather: 💧 Provide water. 🌾 Hold off on mowing. 🍎 Leave some fruit. Check out the Alt Text to find out more! #WildlifeGardening #Heatwave

Leave out a pebbly bowl of water, or build a pond with a sloping and stoney edge for insects and birds. This image shows an insect enjoy a much-needed drink from a pebbly pond.

Let long grass stand a little longer. It creates shade and keeps the ground level significantly cooler for creepy-crawlies and small mammals. This image shows a field of very long grass.

Leave a few berries or windfall apples on your trees and bushes—they’re an essential source of both food and hydration.

Creating wildflower meadows 🌼 Recently, our staff and volunteers spent the day collecting and processing wildflower and grass seed from our magnificent meadows at Caeau Tan y Bwlch Nature Reserve. The seeds will be used to create and restore other meadows at various sites on the Llŷn Peninsula. 💚

Volunteers process the seeds by hand through various sieves to get rid of the unwanted leaves and stems, by NWWT.

Once the seeds have been sorted, the leftover leaves and stems are released back on to the reserve, by NWWT.

We hope that you're looking after yourself in this warm weather, and lending a hand to wildlife too! Check out our advice for helping wildlife in the heat, from keeping watering stations topped up to providing shade and shelter. 👉 www.northwaleswildlifetrust.org.uk/actions/help-wildlife-hot-weather

A graphic giving advice for helping wildlife in hot weather. Advice on this graphic states:
1. Provide enough water - Leave out a shallow dish of water for thirsty birds, mammals and insects. Placing stones in the dish will give landing spots for insects to have a drink.
2. Top up the bird bath - Birds need to bathe to keep their feathers in good condition. Change the water daily and clean the bath once a week to help keep birds healthy.
3. Stay messy - Wilder areas in the garden will provide shelter for a wide range of wildlife, so don't be too tidy.

A second graphic giving advice for helping wildlife in hot weather. Advice on the grahich states:
1. Provide enough cover from the sun - Adding a log pile, rockery and tall grassy areas to your garden will provide cover for frogs, toads and newts seeking shelter from the sun.
2. Top up your pond - Ponds that are low can be topped up. If your water butt or rain barrel is empty you can use tap water - but only use a little at a time.
