When kitchen sponges like these break down, they release microplastics that end up in the sea – harming marine environments and the animals that live there. And they can't be recycled, so remain in landfill for 100s of years. For eco-friendly sponges see: littlegreenspace.org.uk/reviews/seep...

One in three mouthfuls of our food are due to the hard work of pollinating insects, including bumblebees. But insect populations are crashing. Help them by growing nectar-rich plants that flower in autumn, winter and early spring.

Oak trees have been revered for centuries, symbolizing power and ancient wisdom. They can live for hundreds of years – and provide food and homes for hundreds of different wildlife species, including birds, mammals, and insects.

Billions of single-use plastic deodorant containers are thrown away each year. These end up in landfill for 100s of years, & release microplastics that end up in rivers & seas, harming marine wildlife. Using a refillable deodorant helps reduce this waste.

It's bulb planting time!
Bulbs make dazzling displays in containers or borders, and they’re also a great source of late winter/early spring nectar for butterflies and moths 🦋
Top 5 bulbs to plant:
🌷 Crocus
🌷 Alliums
🌷 Grape hyacinth
🌷 Winter aconite
🌷 Snake's-head Fritillary

Please don't cut back shrubs and hedgerows until wildlife has taken all the autumn berries! Hawthorn, for example, is a fantastic source of food for birds - including blackbirds, thrushes and (if the weather gets very cold) waxwings.

Birds of prey are an essential part of a healthy, balanced eco-system - but they face many challenges, including persecution and habitat loss. That’s why places like Argaty, and the moorland habitats at Tarras Valley Nature Reserve are so vital.
