Phenomenal news that @warrenfarmnr.bsky.social @brentriverpark.bsky.social is now officially a Local Nature Reserve! So many people (including Ealing Lib Dems) fought for this! A green lung for Southall. A home for wildlife. A win for community action! Well done! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are several breeding pairs of skylarks still holding on at Warren Farm (@warrenfarmnr.bsky.social) in the west London suburbs. Long may they continue.

Beautiful songful Linnets can always be seen nesting around our #WarrenFarmNR rewilded Brownfield area🐦‍⬛🪺Their population has sadly plummeted causing them to join our Skylarks on the UK Red-List as a species of high conservation concern😔LNR status will safeguard many lives that thrive here💚 #bird

🪺‘KEEP TO THE PATHS’ SKYLARK NOTICES ARE UP! #WarrenFarmNR 🪺Ealing’s only Skylark population build their nests on the ground here & people / dogs straying off the main outside paths into the meadow seriously risk harming our Red-Listed bird’s eggs & chicks🐣 ❌🐕🚶🏽‍♂️Thank you for helping keep them safe💚

Land like this gets described by those not in the know as ‘wasted space’, ‘it’s just grass’, ‘messy’🌿To botanists, wildlife experts & nature lovers who see life its ‘home to rare plant species’, ‘vital acid grassland habitat’, ‘Field Vole site supporting Owls’🦉WarrenFarmNR 💚

Our WarrenFarmNR & surrounding @brentriverpark.bsky.social meadows connect to the River Brent💙Beautiful as this photo is, like many rivers across the UK it’s polluted & harmful to wildlife😞Our charity recently learned there are new builds flushing toilet waste directly into this precious river 🚽🤢
