Is anyone else using their free time for some literary escapism? Nature writing is great for unwinding, especially now our ability to explore new places is limited. Tell us what books you are enjoying at the moment and what sort of places they are transporting you to. 📚

13/5/20 County Durham - It's fair to say I got a good walk this afternoon as Spring Gentians (Gentiana verna) typically grow in remote locations. Many were closed due to the wind but a few were open - they're incredibly blue even on a dull day #wildflowerhour European Orchids & Wildflowers

Beautiful day up at Widdybank yesterday. The spring flowers were really showing off with Mountain Pansies of all different colours decorating the pastures.

Derwent Gorge is looking very green through dappled sunlight. Many plants are flowering in the glade which we made earlier this year, which is great to see! Peacock and speckled wood butterflies were also spotted enjoying the extra light.

The impressive Emperor Moth emerging in heather stands on a very warm and sunny day. There's a male and a female in the picture, who knows which is which?

An abundance of orchids are in flower around Low Force right now. A great time to see the diversity of flowering plants by the riverside.

Please take your rubbish home with you, and remind other people to do the same. In this good weather we have had to remove a huge amounts of rubbish from Low Force and Bowlees which has been very disappointing. This is the amount we collected from just one sunny day.

Here is a #drone video from a #restoration site in the @NorthPennAONB . Drones allow us to get a birdseye view of the sites which sometimes makes it easier to see how the water flows through the site and how much bare #peat there is #penninepeatlife #EULIFE #BogDay

Disturbance from dogs is a real problem for farmers. At this time of year pregnant sheep can miscarry their lambs when they're stressed. Please: 🐶 Keep dogs on a short lead 🐑 Give sheep space ❗ Remain calm around livestock Share to spread the word #RespectProtectEnjoy
