Ahead of #WWD2025, it's great to see strategic thinking from the government on how UK land is used. This could unlock huge potential for wetland restoration, and there's no better time to recognise their benefits for people, nature, and climate. šŸŒ theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Great to share the superpowers of wetlands with Minister for Nature Mary Creagh CBE MP at WWT Martin Mere for #WorldWetlandsDay. We're looking forward to working with the government in 2025 to restore and protect wetlands like our common future depends on it. Because it does.

We were on Countryfile last night 🦢 The team popped down to WWT Welney to talk to our experts and learn how we’re unlocking the power of wetlands and helping the wildlife that depend on them to flourish. Watch the episode here: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

A year on, there's still potential for Biodiversity Net Gain that's not been met. If the government wants to get nature back on track while building healthier and happier communities, creating new habitats like wetlands will be key. Planning needs to be #WilderByDesign

Have you spotted this early sign of spring? 🌼 Snowdrops typically bloom in January and February and are a sign that warmer weather is on the way. They're a vital source of food for early-rising pollinators, and can be found scattered along river banks and woodlands. šŸ’®

šŸ½ļø In this restaurant, every meal is life-changing… but not for the right reasons. Toxic lead has been banned from petrol, paint and pipes - but in 2025 it is still turning up on our plates. Can you call on the Secretary of State to #BanLead for good? šŸ‘‰act.wwt.org.uk/page/160992/ac…

Forget the bouquet this Valentine’s Day šŸ’• Great crested grebes know the perfect gift. In their unique courting dance, they move in unison before offering up the best soggy weed they can find. 🌿

Read our statement on the reaction to our toxic restaurant campaign film. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to ban toxic lead ammunition for good - of course we’re being bold, and we won’t apologise for that. wwt.org.uk/news-and-stori…

A fantastic update on our work on the Lake Sofia dam. This vital freshwater habitat is home to critically endangered species only found there. Find out more about the hard work of our team in Madagascar, the contractors and the local community in Sofia šŸ‘‡ wwt.org.uk/news-and-stori…

Saltmarsh. It's just mud, right? WRONG. They’re carbon-capturing, flood-busting, water-purifying, economy-boosting and mood-lifting ecosystems that are vital to many species, but sadly 85% of England’s saltmarshes have been lost since 1860. Learn more: wwt.org.uk/our-work/resto…

There’s just one week left for Steve Reed MP to make lead ammunition history. We need him to know the public support a non-toxic future - will you join us in telling him to #BanLead once and for all? šŸ‘‰ act.wwt.org.uk/page/160992/ac…

5 years ago, shooting organisations called for a voluntary ban on the use of toxic lead ammunition. Researchers have found it’s not worked. 7,000 tonnes of lead ammunition are scattered across our environment each year. Time is tickingšŸ•™ Help us #BanLead act.wwt.org.uk/page/160992/ac…

You might have heard us talking about lead ammunition a lot lately. But how did we get here? At this critical moment, we wanted to tell this story through the people at WWT who’ve been fighting for wetlands and wildlife every step of the way. šŸ‘‰ features.wwt.org.uk/how-did-we-get…
