⚠️Speak up for nature now! UK Government promised to protect nature. But it’s breaking that promise. Please help us demand they scrap the part of the new Planning Bill which threatens important wildlife protections. Use our simple form to email your MP: action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/171483/ac…

Looking for a nature escape this bank holiday? Head to Smestow Valley LNR for a wildlife walk along the canal and old railway line. Help record local wildlife by snapping photos, then upload them to iNaturalist! See what’s already been spotted in 2025: uk.inaturalist.org/projects/explo…

We continue to colour ring Blackbirds in conjunction with Birmingham University across the West Midlands Region. Please report any colour ringed Blackbirds you see, early information gathered through GPS is interesting and hope the project can grow with your support.

Did you know foxgloves are the county flower of the West Midlands? A brilliant source of nectar, especially for long-tongued bees such as the common carder bee, they're just starting to look their beautiful best. Their mottled markings were said to be the hand-prints of fairies!

🚨Help wildlife in hot weather!🚨 Please take care of yourselves in this hot weather, and lend a helping hand to wildlife too. If you can, leave out a bowl of shallow water, scatter some food, top up your ponds and bird baths, and provide areas of shade for animals to shelter.
