Calling on all my lovely Facebook mates for help 🙏 Let’s do our bit!
Let your lawn go wild, it’s amazing how many creatures appear within weeks of not mowing, including frogs 🐸 and hedgehogs 🦔 who eat slugs 🐌!
Leave small water baths with pebbles in your garden. Just 1 bowl helps hundreds.
Stop 🛑 using pesticides and w**d killers. Even if they claim to be safe and biodegradable they are making their way to our rivers as poison. Many w**ds are food sources for insects. If you must kill them, wait til they have flowered and use boiling water or just pull them up. Don’t deflea your pets in winter when there are no fleas. Thanks to the water companies 😡 that flea killer you put through your washing machine is going straight into rivers and causing devastation to insect larvae 🐛
Sign petitions, write to your MP and Councillor to ban the use of toxic chemicals in our green spaces and agricultural land.
Teach your kids to respect nature and its balance. Without the ‘bad’ and the ‘ugly’ we don’t get the good 🌳
Peace out ✌️

This isn’t down to one wet, cold British spring but a disturbing longer-term decline in Britain’s insects. Thankfully, we can help, says the campaigner Tony Juniper
