Leaving for work in the dark and returning home in the dark. The days are colder, darker and wetter with some days it seems like the sun struggles to break through at all. Winter can feel very long and difficult for many of us. However, I often think about how hard the winters must be for our wildlife. The creatures that don’t have the comfort of a roof over their heads or cosy slippers. How do birds cope with the long winters? How do rabbits and badgers cope with the cold nights?Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000George Cookhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/george-cook/help-out-hibernatorsTwelve birds of Christmashttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/thewildlifetrusts/twelve-birds-christmasDiscover some wonderful winter wildlife as part of 12 Days WildTue, 20 Dec 2022 12:00:00 +0000The Wildlife Trustshttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/thewildlifetrusts/twelve-birds-christmasGive a gift to wildlife this winterhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/abbie-hall/give-gift-wildlife-winterAs the weather turns colder and the nights draw in, our local wildlife needs your support more than ever.Wed, 30 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000Abbie Hallhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/abbie-hall/give-gift-wildlife-winterGallop into 2022 with Avon Wildlife Trusthttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/georgia-moore/gallop-2022-avon-wildlife-trustTake inspiration from Folly Farm's resident Exmoor ponies, Wensleydale, Halloumi, Stilton and Mozzarella, and gallop into 2022 with Avon Wildlife Trust.

Here’s a handy list of some festive favourites, to help you put wildlife first this year.Sat, 25 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000Rebecca Lockwoodhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/rebecca-lockwood/twelve-ways-wildlife-friendly-christmasDecorating for Christmas the natural wayhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/rebecca-lockwood/decorating-christmas-natural-wayUsing elements from the earth to create natural Christmas decorations is a great way to reduce waste, make your home smell great naturally, and celebrate your love for nature. It’s likely you have a box in your attic full of sparkly Christmas decorations that come out every year. If so, great! Use what you have and don’t throw anything out unless you have to. But, if you want to add something new, make sure you think first.Thu, 16 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000Rebecca Lockwoodhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/rebecca-lockwood/decorating-christmas-natural-wayHow to put wildlife on your Christmas listhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/rebecca-lockwood/how-put-wildlife-your-christmas-listIt’s December at last, and for lots of us that can only mean one thing – shopping!

But there is still plenty to enjoy in nature to make it worth the effort. So what is our wildlife up to in December, where can you go to see it, and how do you stay warm outside?Wed, 16 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000Claire Sissonshttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/claire-sissons/discover-winter-wildlife-close-homeThis winter give the gift of a wilder futurehttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/georgia-moore/winter-give-gift-wilder-futureAs we come out of the second lockdown, and find our way forwards into the festive season, I am yet again in awe of how much joy and freedom time spent connecting with nature has given me. Over the past month the changing colours throughout our landscapes, the flocks of birds and the crisp autumn sunsets have provided me with a sense of light in an otherwise restricting time. No doubt the holidays will be a little different this year, but I will be looking at the natural world to lift my spirits throughout the season.Fri, 04 Dec 2020 12:00:00 +0000Georgia Moorehttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/georgia-moore/winter-give-gift-wilder-future
