Saturday night is International Bat Night, an annual celebration of one of the most fascinating of our planet’s species. Frequently misunderstood, there’s something magical about these nocturnal creatures and their darting presence in the rising darkness. Whether they’re flitting across woodlands or skimming over a river, it’s a sight that’s captured imaginations for centuries.Thu, 26 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000Rebecca Lockwoodhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/rebecca-lockwood/celebrating-bat-nightThe Importance of Hedgeshttps://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-hedgesPutting Nature into Recoveryhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/elisabeth-winkler/putting-nature-recoveryDoes nature matter? Nature provides vital human services: medicine, building materials, food, soil, seed pollination, fresh water and fresh air. We depend on it for our wealth and wellbeing, our food and homes. How would we survive without it? For our own sake, we need nature to thrive.Thu, 02 May 2019 12:00:00 +0000Elisabeth Winklerhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/elisabeth-winkler/putting-nature-recovery
