🚫🌼 Most UK councils still spray pesticides in parks, playgrounds and pavements, harming bumblebees and other wildlife. 📌 Check your council’s record: www.pan-uk.org/pesticide-free 📣 Demand better or celebrate progress! #PesticideFreeTowns #PollinatorsNotPesticides

There’s still time to act for bumblebees 🚨 The Government plans to weaken Biodiversity Net Gain rules – letting developers skip nature recovery on small sites. That puts vital habitats at risk. 📢 Add your voice for nature by 24 July: action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/173184/...

We welcome the progress on Wales' Sustainable Farming Scheme. Credit to all the farmers and experts who’ve helped shape it so far. But there is much more left to do. We know nature-friendly farming works, for wildlife and farm resilience. Now Welsh Government must back farmers to go further, faster.

How do you help bumblebees? 🐝 This #BeesNeedsWeek we're celebrating the UK's bumblebees and we want to hear how you help your local bumblebees 🌻 What have you planted recently? Have you created a nesting spots in your garden? Are you a member of the Trust? 💛

🚨 £250m a year–£2.5bn in the next decade–could be lost for nature recovery 🚨 Government proposals on planning rules could see developments built on an area the size of the Yorkshire Dales without developers compensating for the wildlife destroyed. 📰 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A true bumblebee hero!!! Congrats and thank you for supporting us 🎉🎉 What an amazing amount to raise #ThankYou

It was a privilege to stand up for bumblebees outside @parliament.scot today 🐝 Big thanks to everyone who joined to show Scotland’s decision-makers how much nature matters. Let’s hope they heard us! #StandupforNature #BumblebeeManifesto @scotlink.bsky.social

Bumblebee numbers are declining. Can we use their sounds to protect them? The BumbleBuzz and @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social project from the 2024 WILDLABS Awards used acoustics, AI, and citizen science to help conserve these species. Learn about their project here: youtu.be/a1GoSnZw6Yw?...
