RT if you’d like to see more green spaces boosting biodiversity and benefitting pollinating insects like this inspiring wildflower meadow at @Kings_College, Cambridge. Congratulations to all involved. Let’s bring nature back 🐝

Protect our pollinators! 🐝
UK Gov has approved the use of a banned pesticide, a decision which will be disastrous for our bees, our wildlife, and our wellbeing.
#SayNoToNeonics and tell your MP to represent you and pollinators at the debate!

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

They say nothing is ever free, and that there's always a catch. The catch in my drop-in sessions is that you have to talk to me. But that's ok. I love talking to people about their ancestry.
Tonight I'm @3crownschip from 5pm, with full access to websites, information & experience
