Some more photos from our #BSACMarineChampions Action Weekend, this time from Exeter BSAC. 🤿 The group completed a litter pick at Babbacombe, collecting 10 kilos of fishing weights, 2 kilos of fishing line, half a fishing rod(!), and several lightweight crab pots. 👏 Well done all! 💪

A good news story 😊 Leave the sea bed alone and nature works its magic (or just does its usual thing) news.mongabay.com/short-articl... #nobottomtrawling #marinelife #leavetheseaslone #marinechampions

As part of the #BSACMarineChampions Action Weekend, CEO Mary has been out with ZSL and Bangor Uni's Connecting Conwy project, along with 12 other volunteers. 🦀 Lots of recording of oysters has been taking place! 🦪 🔗 Learn more: https://loom.ly/96riCCo

The #UKgovernment publicly supports pausing #deepseamining yet has handed out exploration licences to #glomarminerals WHY? There’s no need. Companies like BMW & Samsung have committed to keep deep sea #minerals out of supply chains. Recycling: better option. @greenpeace.eu are taking them to court 🙌🏼

'Having a Green in the room makes a difference' Greens build social housing, stand up to developers and push for affordable homes. Vote Green this Thursday. 🗳️✅

An appreciation of a blackbird in my local nature reserve #birdsong #liftsthespirits

How ironic, a “pardon the weeds” sign in a oh so neat, trimmed & tidied area along the ring road …. which contractor mows these #nottinghamcitycouncil areas & why?! @stevebattlemuch.bsky.social can you enquire please (3rd photo is my garden where all pollinators, birds & hedgehogs are welcome)

Being part of a great team: what a dream….. no it’s real life! The Wollaton Hall & Park Walled Garden open day yesterday was stunning in the sun. Hundreds of people came through our welcoming gates & enjoyed all the fruits & flowers of our labours. It’s happening again today too! @fowp.bsky.social

Proud to be an active volunteer with the Friends of Wollaton Park. We are great people and we do great things in our great park @fowp.bsky.social

Well worthy of a repost, what a stunner 💙🧡💙

What a lean, not mean, foxy machine ❤️

We need to win big on May 7. Thousands of Green candidates are standing across England and Wales. This is a real chance to change politics - to give communities a stronger voice and challenge parties backed by big money. Support the campaign 👉 crowdfunder.co.uk/p/we-deserve...

How stunning 🩷🩷🩷

Stunning foxy-loxy

What a wonderful symphony and array of bird calls in my little urban garden to wake up to this morning 💚 Canada geese just flew over too 😀 #feedthebirds and they will come

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Proud of myself and the many other women who ran the #nottingham10k #RaceForAll today on #internationalwomensday There were some hills and it was a challenge but that’s what life should be all about. I especially enjoyed the sound of hundreds of pairs of feet on the pavement rather than tyres 😊

"The Peace President."

What a truly humble, thankful, supportive and kind soul. I can’t imagine any other candidates being so appreciative in an acceptance speech. The best candidate won. You go show them in Westminster Hannah how Mancunians and the Greens deal with the world in a friendly, caring and heartfelt way 🙌🏼💚💚🙌🏼

Congratulations to the amazing @greenparty.org.uk and their brilliant candidate #HannahSpencerMP 💚 I was proud to help the campaign. Even though he’s no longer with us, Mr Cat was a renowned political campaigner so when I went to bed last night, he held onto my spatula 😸 #hopenothate

Reach for the skies not so little tree 😄💚🌳💚 I helped female students plant 10 standards at a local sixth form college yesterday. I wonder why none of the lads came out: didn’t like the mud, too much hard work? 😄 I’ll give them benefit of the doubt & say they were all studying #trees #greengeneration

Go GReeN GoRtoN and Denton - nothing to lose and everything to gain 💚💚💚

Great choice Leicester. Next we will win Gorton & Denton 💚🙌🏼💚

Send a postcard, tell the Foreign Secretary to make the Global Ocean Treaty UK law act.greenpeace.org/page/183797/... I told her, as a scuba diver, I’ve promised fish I dive with that I’ll help protect them. If our government signed this treaty like 81 other countries, we would be part way there…

There’s nothing extreme about wanting a functioning NHS, a fair distribution of wealth, and a liveable planet.

Please sign and share this petition asking for the sale of peat based horticultural products to be stopped, leaving peat habitats well alone 👍🏼 actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

Everyone deserves to have this beauty staring back at them from their screens today 🧡

Today is Human Rights Day. We reaffirm our commitment to the inalienable rights of all people to freedom, life and safety from Palestine to Congo, Haiti to Sudan, and here in the UK, amidst inadequate living standards, privacy infringements and persecution for political action.

New ways of helping our iconic elderly tree: a bit like us all encouraging our elderly relatives to keep being active, staying young at heart and finding new ways to encourage and help them 😊 #majoroak #rspb #rootingaround #sherwoodforest youtu.be/Yh6LypB10HA?...

What a super scurry of squirrels at Sutton Lawn park yesterday! I counted 10! They are much maligned but these little beauties were just there, nibbling and burying their acorns and I thought they were ace 🩶🧡🩶 (zoom in to count if you want!)

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

“Every single day you can make an impact on how you live” indeed Dr Jane, you made a memorable impact on hundreds of chimpanzees lives. Thank you for all you gave them and us

So many people were understandably upset at the loss of the #sycamoregap tree. Take a look around your local area, at trees that are struggling, imagine losing them….. please go out & help your neighbourhood trees, water & care for them during this difficult time, they need our help 💚 #heatwave

Is anyone else noticing lots of tiny, young conkers on the floor under Horse Chestnuts this year? Do we think it is because of the lack of rain earlier in Spring? 😕 #climatechange

When getting a resin-bonded gravel drive, I worried toads/frogs might not be able to access my garden, so I put a toad ramp in. Wondered if it needed to be better positioned today but lifting it up, this little fella said it was in just the right place to rest under 😀🤎 @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

So as we rush through June, do remember the @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social inspiring initiative this month #30dayswild - all about trying something “wild”, outdoors, connecting you to nature every day in June. Lie back & look at the clouds, sit under a tree etc slow down, relax & enjoy nature 😊💚🪲🦋🦇

😃

Isn’t it interesting and also annoying how so few of these brilliant green councillors getting elected got reported? Who else is sick and tired of the biased media?

#nomowmay has been a success (as always) in my garden, lovely buttercups, ragwort, Fox & Cubs plants have been enjoyed by pollinators galore & the birds have been catching them & feeding their young. Areas will be cut back but long areas will be left throughout the summer #30dayswild #wildlifegarden

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join please me? act.gp/3B9jU74

“The figures may not add up but these are the ones we plucked out of thin air” is pretty much what this clown said on his free advert on @itvnews.bsky.social last night. Why does he get so much free advertising? This party don’t live in the real world #climatechange is happening & needs solutions

#NoMowMay doesn’t mean you have to have a wildlife jungle, just leave a few areas of your lawn less tidy; don’t overly trim the hedges (if you’ve got one) whilst birds are nesting in them & relax & take time out in a nature reserve rather than a show-space for weed killer & power tools #beemorewild
