We need to talk about nature… 🌿

Please, please don’t be one of those people who watch a show like Wild Isles, think how beautiful nature is and how sad it is that we’re losing it at an alarming rate, but then not do anything about it!

TAKE. ACTION.

Here’s how... 🧵

There are dozens of things individuals and businesses can do to support nature’s recovery and help tackle ecological collapse and biodiversity loss.

And some of those things are really quick and easy to do.

Here are just a few of them…

🏡 REWILD YOUR HOME!

Lucky enough to have a garden? Create a pond, sow wildflower seeds, let your lawn grow, don’t use weed killers, build a bug hotel, put up bird and bat boxes, plant native pollinator-friendly plants.

No garden? Even a window box with flowers can help!
