It was with the very deepest regret that we heard of the death of Her Majesty the Queen. We offer our condolences to our Patron, His Majesty the King and all members of the Royal Family at this sad time. Photo: Her Majesty the Queen planting trees at our Slapton Ley centre,1980's

Bird breeding season has started so it's important we all take steps to keep them safe when walking in the countryside.
🚶♀️ Stick to the main paths
🦮 Keep dogs on a short lead
🐣 Watch out for nests
🏞️ Treat the outdoors with respect

Wales is a fantastic place for filming & has already been the location for many productions. Last year production company @kindleentUK used @FSCMargam for the filming of an exciting Netflix series. The set transformation was amazing 🤩 #madeinwales #locationsinwales @kindleentUK

It's #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek: what are you doing to mark the week? It's not too late to get involved! 💛

Feeling crafty? Upcycle an old plastic bottle into your own bird feeder! Simply cut a hole in the side large enough for seed to flow freely and some small holes in the bottom to let rainwater drain. Fill with seed, hang up and watch the birds that feed 🐦 #birdwatch #craft

Our #speciesoftheweek is the brown hare! A common sight in fields and woodland, the brown hare can reach speeds up to 45mph! They're most visible in the spring when pairs can be seen 'boxing'

A moment of stillness to contemplate the day ahead. Thanks to Matthew H for sharing this moment of calm on the Long Mynd. Share yours with #EveryoneNeedsNature.

Two days ago I decided to fill a log with bird food like my late husband used to and this morning I glanced out to see a Greater spotted woodpecker on it. I can see the holes she has made in various ports but she just perched completely still for 5 mins.😊 #BreakfastBirdwatch
