🌿💧 Essex's "Zombie" Ponds in the news! We’re excited to see the incredible work of Essex Wildlife Trust and the RSPB featured in The Guardian! Through the Essex Lost Ponds Project, farmers like Joe and Emma Gray are bringing forgotten ponds back to life, boosting biodiversity and supporting endangered species like the turtle dove. 🦋🐸 This partnership shows how wildlife conservation and farming can work hand in hand—restoring ponds without losing productive land. A true win-win for nature and agriculture! 🙌 Big thanks to everyone involved in this inspiring collaboration! 💚 👉 Read more: https://loom.ly/R5ZWOYk #EssexWildlife #PondRestoration #Biodiversity #WildlifeFriendlyFarming #RSPB

Download our Garden Wildlife Bingo as your guide – and then challenge your colleagues to see who can spot the most species! 📝✨ Plus, you can check your sightings again later in the year to track how wildlife changes through the seasons. Let’s get the office involved – who’s up for the challenge? 🙋♂️🙋♀️ https://loom.ly/nSXgrOQ
