I'm hoping they'll be too large to fit through the hole in spring 😬

We dont all need to be vegan but all the land currently used for feed crops and grazing would be so much better used to restore nature. We need to eat a fraction of the meat and dairy that we do, until we do, Vegans shoulder the weight of reducing land use per human

It's not about not having animals. It's about bringing back the wild animals (or as close to as possible given we've caused extinctions) to bring back natural processes of grazing and nutrient recycling instead of intensively farmed livestock, feed crops, over grazing and pollution.

I think my pond will be the big one. Just need to get the liner and rocks to get started. But already, there are bees and butterflies in. Before there was nothing. Not even snails. Annoyingly the lawn was treated so getting some plant diversity is going to be tough and meadow of my dreams 100 years!

I think I'll probably get more bang for my buck by sticking to my original bee focused shrubs. I have a Rowan and a native hedge just planted for the bird cover. Thank you both

We should stop spending millions of pounds on concrete engineered flood solutions and just rewiggle rivers, reconnect floodplains, plant trees and release beavers.
