Must be a May record for our #BumbleeMonitoring for #biodiversityIreland. 150 bumblebees! Normally far less here in May + mostly honeybees. The #NoMow and #wild areas mean blankets of #vetch , #clover and #birdsfoottrefoil for all to enjoy! #pollinators #bumbógs #spéirgorm #knocklyon #PollinatorPlan

Huge community effort more local residents and volunteer groups moved a huge amount of the illegal landscape waste out of woodland! It's been collected by SDCC giving our woodland a chance to recover! THANK YOU! #ReportIllegalDumping #knocklyon @dodderaction.bsky.social #loveWhereYouLive

Did you spot the illegal dumping of huge amounts of landscaping waste in the Knocklyon Park woodland? Please report it if you did! The scale of the event is destroying the woodland flora and will be a nightmare for volunteers to remove to save the woodland! @knocklyonpark.bsky.social

The large number of frogs over the past 2 weeks have moved on at the South Pond. Lots of spawn remains. The egg develops into a tadpole in 10-21 days. #frogs #biodiversity #nature

Awful news on bumble bee counts in UK in 2024. We certainly saw big drops on our transect walks in Dublin also. Bumblebee queens need early flowering plants for nest building energy, but the lawnmowers get rolled out at the first opportunity! #habitatloss #bumbógs #WeedsWillSafeUs #dandelions

The #NewYearPlantHunt began today with @bsbibotany.bsky.social. Less flowers than last year in #KnocklyonPark and #DodderValleyPark but some pretty #Hogweed buds leading the charge! #dandelion #buttercup #yarrow #shepardspurse #ragwort

"Essentially what this boils down to is that we have to continue polluting and destroying the environment in order to save it."

Destroying the planet to save it — what could possibly go wrong?
Environmentalists, unlike business advocates, can see too clearly how the world works and are willing to call it out

Who loves wasps?
WE LOVE WASPS!
Did you know?
Not all wasps are out to get you. In fact, no wasps are actually out to get you. But solitary wasps are DEFINITELY not out to get you. They simply want to mate or gather enough food to feed their future young.
