Did you know the UK was once a thriving rainforest nation? 🌿 The British countryside is often celebrated for its natural beauty. But in reality, it's a barren wasteland compared to the rich and diverse land that once existed. Temperate rainforest – now a globally rare habitat – once cloaked vast areas of Britain's western regions. Over the centuries, it has fallen victim to logging for timber, industrial agriculture, nibbling livestock and hunting estates. These wild, wet, and wonderful ecosystems are home to a variety of species, some incredibly rare. They act as natural flood defences and are proving to be effective carbon sinks. They are also deeply rooted in our cultural identity. Today, tiny fragments (less than 1%) still desperately cling on. Yet thanks to the incredible work of the Cumbria Wildlife Trust, this fragile habitat will be making a BIG comeback in the Lake District. By purchasing Skiddaw, England's sixth highest mountain, the Trust is planning to inject life back into a lifeless, nibbled-to-death landscape. Skiddaw will hopefully become a rich mosaic of habitats, including temperate rainforest. You can help bring Britain’s rainforests back to life. Support the Cumbria Wildlife Trust today by donating or spreading the word about their vital work to protect and restore these rare ecosystems. Together, we can ensure this incredible habitat thrives once more: https://lnkd.in/eNp95RfP #rewilding #temperaterainforest #sustainabilitywriter #rewildingbritain #blogwriter #sustainability #biodiversity #climateaction

If you could plant a tree right now, in two minutes, without getting up from where you are - would you? What if you knew that tree was among thousands of other trees in a brand new koala forest? Maybe you'd consider planting two, or even three! Every year Koala Clancy Foundation plants tens of thousands of trees to save Australia's beloved koalas from extinction. As our planting season approaches, you have the opportunity to contribute in one of the best ways possible - by funding a tree in these projects. Good news - you can do exactly that, right now. By entering our current raffle fundraiser, you're making our 2024 tree planting season possible to save koalas from extinction. Tickets are $10, which is how much it costs us to plant one tree. PLUS every ticket you buy puts you in the running to win one of three AWESOME koala prizes. Ticket sales close TOMORROW at 12:00pm (Thursday 28th March). Follow the link below to learn more and plant a tree for koalas. https://lnkd.in/gBJEwssb

A charity in Dorset wants to create a life-saving wetland for birds that are in decline. This has largely been due to a loss of habitat. To find out more, see the full article via the link in the comments below #rndtaxrelief #rndtaxcredits #rnd #patentbox #technology #innovationuk #ukbusiness

As March is B Corp month we wanted to share an update on Meadow Mission, an initiative that was born out of the accreditation process. Since 2021 we've donated 2% of turnover to create wildflower meadows, a vital habitat for bees with our charity partner Plantlife International. To date, with our customers help, we’ve planted over 20 acres! We've lost 98% of our wildflower meadows since the 1940's which is a vital habitat for honey bees as well as many other invertebrates, mammals, bats, and birds. Meadows also store carbon. There is some research suggesting that a flower-full meadow can store 30% more carbon than a flower-less meadow. As Black Bee Honey grows and requires more honey we need to ensure there's more biodiversity to support the bees producing it. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e5Uqr_iy #bcorpmonth #bcorp B Lab UK

✨🌳 Lower Chew Forest will be the South West’s biggest new woodland in a generation: a huge 100,000 tree forest across 422 acres between Bristol and Bath. 🌳✨ But it’s not only trees! To maximise the benefits for our climate and nature, we’ll be creating a mosaic of habitats including species-rich grassland, wetlands, and miles of hedgerow. Our woodland will be for people too, a beautiful natural space for communities to connect with, learn, and enjoy. Each week of our crowdfunding campaign, we’ll be sharing more of our plans with you for Lower Chew Forest and the incredible benefits it will deliver for our region. This coming week, we’ll be focusing on species-rich grassland and hedgerows - stay tuned for more! 🐝🦋🌸 To begin establishing Lower Chew Forest this winter, we need your help. Your donation will help us get the first trees in the ground before Christmas, and establish a mix of diverse habitats to support nature’s recovery. What’s more is every donation (up to £250) will be matched offline - doubling your impact! The climate and nature crisis simply can’t wait. Take positive action today and help us make Lower Chew Forest a reality. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecuMnWgf #AvonNeedsTrees #LowerChewForest #TreePlanting #ClimateAction #WoodlandCreation #HabitatCreation #Grassland #Biodiversity #Wildflowers #TreeForClimate #NatureRecovery #NatureRestoration #Bristol #Bath

Friday inspiration: WWT Rebrand. Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust rebrand. Weapons of mass creation. Good work. New brand work from my old agency home, Good Agency: a new brand and brand purpose for international wetland restoration charity WWT. Few people realise what incredible, superpowered ecosystems wetlands are and the impact their restoration could have on our world. In the fight against the climate crisis, wetlands are a powerful weapon. Every time a wetland is restored, it locks up carbon – even faster than a forest can. The UK is losing wetlands at a staggering rate. 87% are gone, and much of what is left is in danger. Through its rebrand, WWT champions wetlands as that rare and special thing: a natural solution to our greatest challenge and the path to the future we can all rely on. https://lnkd.in/eWRJ2fJW #Charity #Brand #Purpose

We need wildfire reform and better forest management practices in BC. The McDougall Creek fire did not need to happen; excess red tape & bureaucracy, unwillingness to work with local experts, and mismanagement is what caused the fire to get out of control. Wildfires need to be put out rapidly and forests need to be managed effectively. An incredible group of locals, including several Registered Professional Foresters, are looking to make a documentary highlighting how we can turn the dial and bring health and prosperity back to our forest and prevent wildfires from devastating our province. It's about the environment, preservation, sustainability, and even economic stability. For our forests, and for our future. Please watch this trailer and consider donating to make this vision a reality! https://lnkd.in/gzUs6EWu
