It’s not a pigeon, but a pigeon killer. A sparrowhawk, in fact! I glimpse its reddish belly and long tail just as it disappears over the roof tops. Always double-check a pigeon!Thu, 05 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000George Cookhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/george-cook/birds-prey-call-wildEducation: Passport to a Greener Futurehttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/matt-cracknell/education-passport-greener-futureOur urban wildlife site, Grow Wilder, is that most special of places. Enhancing and supporting wildlife is part of its DNA, and sustainable food production is also key. But it is about so much more than that, because at the centre of our mission is education. We educate people to care about the environment upon which we depend, and we help them learn how to take action for nature. In short, we’re spreading the word that wildlife isn’t just ‘nice to have’ – it’s essential to our wellbeing, to our communities, to our very existence.Thu, 27 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000Matt Cracknellhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/matt-cracknell/education-passport-greener-futureOnline Courses at Avon Wildlife Trusthttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/online-courses-avon-wildlife-trustWhether you are a beginner seeking to gain knowledge into wildlife or a keen enthusiast hungry for more, Avon Wildlife Trust offers a range of online courses tailored to suit your interest in the environment.Fri, 05 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000Chloe Raynorhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/chloe-raynor/online-courses-avon-wildlife-trust
