This is probably the best moment when you are carrying out survey work for the butterflies you are trying to help. What a result, keep up the good work

Exciting opportunity going at Overbury in Tewkesbury.

Its a bit extreme and i think probably took more than a ladder and strong pair of hands to erect but look at those little babies. If you would like a more conventional bird box get in touch with Raptor Aid. They have supported at events last year on Traditional Orchard Management and have a passion for rescuing and educating on Raptors. #jimmyhill #Raptoraid #natureatitsbest #traditionalbirdbox

Really looking forward to sharing this Video with you, Gary was one of our judges for the Silver Pintail award last year and has a fascinating knowledge and understanding of wild pollinators. If you are looking at getting as many of these insects attracted to your orchard i suggest you get in touch with #GaryFarmer #Valelandscapeheritagetrust

An interesting scientific approach to spreading manure, turn it into compost and the effects are better all round. More carbon sequestered, better for the atmosphere and for the ground it's being spread on. Don't waste it compost it!

Always take the advice of professionals before 'rescuing' wildlife
