We have a Manx Wildlife Trust stand in Strand Street today for #DouglasBeeDay Thanks to Graham and Douglas City Council team for inviting us along! #teamwilder #manxnature #wildlifegardening 🐝🇮🇲🐝

Day two and we’ve moved to the Isle of Wight with HIWWTConservation and visited Little Duxmore and Nunwell Home Farm. Vegans turned livestock farmers! So I allowed myself to try the beef and pork which were lovely and the livestock looked very happy! #Farm2Fork #TeamWilder

Great meeting at Milntown Estate today - a wonderful garden and fantastic partner for Manx Wildlife Trust in many ways #teamwilder #hairpinwoodlandpark #manxnature #communitygardening #wildlifegardening #horticulture #visitisleofman #treenursery 🌳🌱🇮🇲🌼🌾

Another fantastic video from Chloe, one of four wonderful Manx Wildlife Trust wardens at the ManxNationalHeritage Calf of Man Bird Observatory! Grab a brew 🫖 ☕️ and enjoy a virtual visit to the Calf of Man! m.youtube.com/watch?v=uZbk8Q…

Cowberry may be common in some places but it is a #RedList species on the #IsleOfMan 🇮🇲. Luckily it's growing near both of our restoration sites, shown here with the more common, but delicious, blaeberry 😋

Thank you Chris Packham 💚 saw a Marsh Harrier too! #SeeingIsBelieving #TeamWilder

Herring gulls are now well into their nesting period. Most are now sitting on eggs that need to be incubated.

It is at this time of year you might experience swooping parent gulls, anxious to keep their young safe.

Here’s some advice if you do.

Yesterday I learned that humans have invented 150 million new chemicals 🧪and are still creating a new one every 2.5 minutes. Whilst many are useful in our everyday lives, nature has not evolved to deal with these novel compounds. So we have to. #TeamWilder #AlwaysLearning

An enjoyable and insightful talk last night at Jacksons Isle of Man - 'Balancing commercial food production with support for wildlife and biodiversity'
by FWAG Association UK Silver Lapwing Judges - Chris Butler & Martin Hole. Great to have them in the Island #agrienvironment 🇮🇲🐝🌱👩🏼‍🌾

Really excited to be in Portsmouth for The Wildlife Trusts Seeing is Believing knowledge sharing event. It’s a privilege to be able to hear from, and speak to, such knowledgeable people. Lots of ideas to take back to Manx Wildlife Trust already. #TeamWilder

There are great prizes.

First coir netting is up, on top of heather brash, protecting the bare #peat underneath 😀. Without this, the peat is vulnerable to erosion and vegetation is hard to establish 🌿

Come and check out the new @_seasearch Dashboard. Lots of funky information and data to explore.

Discover where you went and what you saw on your survey dives and snorkels!

I was shocked this week visiting a garden centre to buy resources for our Manx Wildlife Trust Wildlife Gardening course. These composts are peat based, yet the word #peat appears nowhere on the bags. Completely hidden. How is this possible Rishi Sunak ? #horticulture #disappointing 😓🌱
