Help us to phase out harmful pesticides
</a>https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/help-us-phase-out-harmful-pesticidesPesticide use affects us all. These chemicals have a detrimental effect on the insect population, leading to adverse consequences for our wildlife and environment as a whole. We have a chance to speak up and influence the Government to prioritise organic alternatives and phase out harmful pesticides in the long term. Now your views can help to make a difference.Wed, 17 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000Chloe Raynorhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/help-us-phase-out-harmful-pesticides<a hreflang="en" href="/blog/chloe-raynor/snowdrops-summoning-spring">

The Importance of Hedges
</a>https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/importance-hedgesThe rich and intricate patchwork of the UK’s countryside and hedgerows is recognised the world over. Emerald green and sunny yellow fields create a vibrant quilt of rolling hills in the summer, turning to rusty coppers in the autumn. Finally, the landscape turns dormant, scattered with the occasional festive burst from winter berries. The ever-present and often unnoticed staple of our everchanging landscape is the bustling boundary and lifeblood of our countryside– the humble hedgerow.Wed, 27 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000Chloe Raynorhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/importance-hedges<a hreflang="en" href="/blog/chloe-raynor/hidden-forests-lichen">
Hidden forests of lichen
</a>https://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/hidden-forests-lichenWhile out on your daily exercise close to home, hidden forests of lichen are waiting to be discovered. They thrive in almost any environment with enough light, from the rocky mosaics of dry-stone walls to the gnarled bark of ancient trees. Woodlands during winter have so much to offer those brave enough to face the cold. Take a trip to your local woods this winter and see whether you encounter lichen on your walk.Thu, 21 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000Chloe Raynorhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/hidden-forests-lichen
