We've been keeping busy pond digging and earth bunding on various sites the last few weeks. We look forward to seeing how they get on after some rain. #naturalfloodmanagement #NFM #attenuationpond #earthbund #ponds

Take action: ask the Scottish Government to permanently outlaw the cruel Guga hunt where months-old Gannet seabird chicks are killed for a local delicacy.

Here are some of the living leaky dams we built earlier this year as part of our natural flood management projects in Calderdale. We're pleased to see they are establishing nicely & will continue to serve their purpose for years to come. As they grow, they will also provide vital habitat for nature.

We've been balsam bashing at a site in #CraggVale this week. The balsam was mostly growing in and amongst rushes, which was a bit fiddly but less stingy than the nettles we usually have to contend with. Visit our Eventbrite page to get involved and volunteer with us. rooting4change.eventbrite.com

We've been removing Himalayan balsam at Warland. This is part of a natural flood management project that includes leaky dams and tree planting to help reduce flooding, improve biodiversity, and reduce erosion. Big thanks to everyone who helped out with this project so far! #HimalayanBalsam

It was a pleasure to host a stall at the Community Volunteer Fair in Todmorden today, where we talked about our nature restoration work, and got to meet lots of lovely and interesting people from other local groups. We brought along a few trays of broom saplings to prick out while we were there 🌱🌿

Busy day at the tree nursery, building raised platforms out of old pallets and fencing posts to keep our seed trays safe from cheeky voles, mice, and birds that keep raiding them. The platforms get covered with shade netting to help reduce losses due to the hotter weather and keep the birds out.

We finished planting a total of 1,650 trees on this hillside as part of a natural flood management scheme, which will also include a series of living leaky dams in the clough below to slow the flow of water and help reduce flooding further downstream whilst also providing wildlife habitats. #NFM

Stellar effort from our brilliant volunteer Toby with removing these big stones from the Sessile Oak field bed. The roots had found their way between the gaps, but this made it difficult to lift the trees without damaging the roots so the rocks had to come out. www.eventbrite.com/e/daisy-bank...

We had a satisfying day free-range tree planting this week. Sessile Oak and Downy Birch grown at our Daisy Bank community tree nursery, some of which were over 1.5m metre tall, planted with help from lovely volunteers. Thanks to everyone who came and helped with planting and all the nursery prep 🙏💚

Fencing in preparation for tree planting this season. Adapted stock fencing with alternating 8ft posts for adding deer netting to keep sheep and deer out so the larger trees grown at Daisy Bank community tree nursery can stay free range and be planted without individual deer guards and stakes 🌳

Another productive day at the tree nursery 🌱 Due to the frozen ground and forecasted rain, we spent the day in the barn processing and preparing seeds trays with seeds we collected locally. If all goes to plan, the trays should germinate in spring, and the seedlings pricked out later in the year.
