Hey pal, it looks like you’re about to *checks notes* wipe out all the pollinators who've been hard at work in your yard all summer!? Let’s try another way. Read on for bug-friendly tips on tidying up (or not) & meet some of the friends you’ll be saving⤵️ xerces.org/blog/put-down-tho…

Put Down Those Pruners: Pollinators Need Your ‘Garden Garbage!’

When you "tidy up" at the end of the season, you're destroying much-needed winter cover for bees, butterflies, birds, and tons of other wildlife.

Today our @NYTGuildTech will be back on the picket line outside @nytimes. Because the @nytimes has chosen to prioritize its own greed and control over its workers, today also marks the first @newsguild strike to coincide with a presidential election in 60 years.

It’s time for one of the easiest things you can do for pollinators: just #LeaveTheLeaves! Why? The bees are sleeping under there!🍂🐝💤 (it's ok, you can tidy a bit if you really want to!) Read on for easy autumn cleaning that leaves space for nature⤵️ xerces.org/blog/leave-the-le…

Leave the Leaves!

One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

Balloon Update: a new balloonist joins the crew

It is over three years since I spent a couple of weeks in the summer, up a ladder, wobbly-legged, painting the outside of our house. Back in June of 2021, head in the clouds, trying to overcome cli…
