Integrating traditional knowledge into conservation strategies enhances wetland protection.

Did u know? This is what happens when you don't raze your garden to the ground in readiness for winter - i.e cutting seed heads off, clearing out plant pots, pruning spent stems & dead branches. If you leave stuff, then winter feeding insects like the Angle Shades moth larva still have food. πΏπ±π¬π§π±ππͺ²π

Did u know? I read this week that we shouldn't approach gardening as *gardening*, we should consider it as habitat restoration. Nature desperately needs us to bring back meadows,ponds,wildflowers & shelters for small souls that underpin the world we're lucky to call home. Go, restore. πΏπ±π¬π§π±ππͺ²π¦ππͺ°π¦ββ¬π¦π¦πΈ

Bumblebee on a yellow dandelion flower
Could you grow a bumblebeeβs breakfast? When insects emerge from hibernation in February and March theyβll be looking for something to eat β so growing plants that produce nectar-rich flowers in early spring really helps.
