England's Wildlife Trusts are ~90% of the way to raising £30M to buy 3,800 hectares of #Northumberland. If you have some spare money, even just £10, they can really use it *before September 30th*! 🙏 #rewilding #wildlife 🦅🐿🐺🦉 www.wildlifetrusts.org/appeals/roth...

Sunnies off. Wellies on. We’re going to the bog 🌿 Did you know that in the UK, our bogs are also known as peatlands, because they’re stuffed full of peat – the stuff you can still find in bagged compost. Follow us to join our mission to save our bogs from this fate! #EndPeatSales
Absolute highlight of our bus adventure yesterday was this... Sound ON! 👇

A giant clam can top 200 kg and live over a century, but it barely feeds. It farms algae in its colorful mantle, living on the sugar they make in sunlight. Its blue-green cells act like lenses, aiming light at the captive gardens inside. Sunlight built this giant. 🧪 #HowToBuildAGiant #marinelife

Amber LED street lights could save millions of insects. New research shows 1800K amber LEDs cut insect attraction by ~40% compared to standard white LEDs, emitting almost no blue light. The study tracked 71,000 bugs across 6 German railway stations. #LightPollution #Insects #Wildlife #DarkSkies
Researchers may have solved a problem caused by artificial street lights

Help required please #moth people! How do I safely remove/free moths from inside my house? I'm scared of hurting them and they aren't very good at following instructions (I'm not very good at Mothspeak, to be fair)
For those who haven't heard of this yet, the fastest/easiest way to reduce indoor air pollution from wildfire smoke is to get a basic 20x20 box fan, and slap a single 20x20 air filter (make sure it's very high MERV) on the back. No tape or anything, it just sticks to the back of the fan.

There's always something you can do, in your corner of the landscape, to help. It may feel overwhelming at times - and there's definitely a lively market in despair when failing, often repeatedly, to do a good deed - but nature usually rewards perseverance in the end. It then makes you want more. \2
