Devil's-bit Scabious & native heathers are among the most popular food plants for wild bees in September Pollinators are in trouble mainly because of hunger. Native species like these provide pollen & nectar. Let them grow & feed our bees 📷Zoë Devlin tinyurl.com/4znrjexf

Lovely to interview Christy Boylan in the Phoenix Park today for @DublinBookFest about his book The Parks and Gardens of Dublin. He finished by talking of the potential for Dublin to be a park city connecting people, wildlife and climate solutions with beautiful urban greening.

Brilliant news ❤️🎉
The Nature Restoration Law has passed, despite all the setbacks and blockages. This is an incredible day for nature, thanks to everyone that refused to give up the fight, including @noonan_malcolm and @EamonRyan who led the charge on Ireland's behalf. This is a rare good day.
