This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”. Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise. And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.
A Robin sits silhouetted on a bare branch against a muted golden sky, its beak open as if calling out. The scene is quiet and atmospheric, hinting at the fragility of nature at a moment when vital protections are under threat.

Psst! Pumpkins are a treat for birds but can be harmful to hedgehogs. 🦔❌ Keep them high up out of reach and compost any leftovers to protect our garden wildlife.
The title reads 'Pumpkin Dos & Don’ts'. A light-hearted illustrated poster split into two columns with a "Do" section on the left and a "Don't" section on the right. In the "Do" section: three green checkmarks highlight turning pumpkins into bird feeders, keeping them high to avoid foraging Hedgehogs, and composting leftovers to avoid harming wildlife. The "Don't" section features three red crosses, advising against leaving pumpkins on the ground (Hedgehogs might eat them), letting pumpkins rot (it harms wildlife), and wasting pumpkins …encouraging instead to make tasty recipes or bird treats. A cartoon Hedgehog and pumpkin smile from the bottom of the poster, adding a fun and informative feel.
