Nature is in crisis.

We need all politicians to rise to the challenge.

Over 100,000 people have signed our #Nature2030 letter to all political parties demanding 5 urgent actions to protect and restore nature by 2030. 💚

Let this water vole cheer you up on this soggy Monday morning 🌧️☔ We're so pleased to see so many of you have signed up to be Water Vole Watchers over the weekend! Like Melanie Allen who has already spotted this water vole on the canal in Chichester!

You don't have to be an expert to take part in one of our surveys. Looking out for animals and changes in their habitats is fun. It connects you with nature and the information you share gives us a real insight into how our wildlife is doing.

Take part 👉 bit.ly/spring-surveys

Few British sights are as uplifting or evocative as fruit tree boughs heavy with spring #blossom 🌸 and nowhere is this more in evidence than in orchards.

Find a local #orchard near you and celebrate blossom this spring at an #OrchardBlossomDay

National Parks are currently among the last refuges for many species on the brink of being lost from the UK🦋🌼🌿🐾

Campaign for National Parks Health Check Report shows the need to ensure our Parks become the places these species recover and are able to spread.

We're looking for water vole watchers! 👀💦

We need volunteers in all corners of England, Scotland and Wales to survey endangered #watervoles between 15th April - 15th June. Have you got some spare time to look along a stretch of local waterway?

👉 ptes.org/watervoles

From the herbaceous vegetation at the bottom🌾, to the woody shrubs that make up the structure 🌿and the trees that tower above the hedge canopy 🌳 each #hedgerow component contributes important resources to wildlife.

If you're tidying the garden this spring, remember to carefully check for #hedgehog s & other #wildlife before mowing grass or tidying wild areas - as they're ideal places for a #hedgehog 's nest!

Swathes of blossom are adorning trees and hedgerows, and we're not the only ones appreciating these delicate blooms.

Even though it's protecting gorillas, our work with @awf_official has a positive knock on effect on these wonderful primates, mandrills! This great footage was captured by camera trap in Campo Ma’an national park Cameroon👉 ptes.org/western-lowlan…

Balloon and lantern releases create litter and #plasticpollution in landscapes and seas that can harm the environment, wildlife and livestock. Celebrate special occasions and loved ones by planting trees, wildflowers, or bee and butterfly gardens instead!
