Such a glorious day today. Now imagine 100 cars parked between the two hedgerows, with all the associated people, noise, and rubbish they’d leave behind … #environment #outdoors #savejockspitch #Folkestone

A giant puppet of a refugee girl which set off from the Turkish-Syrian border in July, will end her epic journey in Manchester. @walkwithamal has been telling the story of a 9 year old girl - Amal - who's crossed international borders in search of her mother.#LittleAmal

‘From looking at the plans, it would eradicate the bowls club.’ Chairman Jim Wraight, 82. Members, who use the green daily, were not consulted. Shameful behaviour by the planners #savejockspitch
Members of a long-standing bowls club feel they have been left out of plans to create a new Roman fort 'destination park' in Folkestone... bit.ly/2WR645c

One of our supporters saw a buzzard over our beautiful unspoilt open space yesterday. Chances are that more development would scare them away.

Please plant more trees! As well as boosting biodiversity, it’s an easy way to help mitigate the climate and nature crises. No space in your own garden or community? Ask @treesforlifeuk to plant one for you! More simple ways to help save the planet: bit.ly/3ztlpad

We're losing our wildlife. That includes frogs, butterflies, bees, hedgehogs, moths, bats, insects, birds, toads. But there are 16 million gardens in the UK alone - so if more of us garden in a wildlife-friendly way, we can start to turn this around! Who's in?
