Exactly this! If you’re worried about the climate, find some people to work with. Start something new or add your momentum to an existing project. Individual actions are important but collective effort is powerful, rewarding and full of hope💚

Redwings, goldcrests, maybe a waxwing or few. There are gems in them there bare trees and fields this winter.

Take a walk around winter fields or upland fringes, anywhere with a profusion of berries, and there’s a good chance you’ll see flocks of wintering birds darting in tiny shoals between bushes and trees...

Healthy peatlands are one of our best climate heroes, storing carbon for thousands of years. Healthy peatlands are gloriously mucky. Drained peatlands might grow food for some time but are a massive source of greenhouse gas emissions. Keep bogs wet - please share!

This new study suggests that high-quality old grassland may be particularly good at supporting pollinators because diverse food sources provided by such grassland provide additional health benefits.
