After a lull in activity the Somerset Pollinator Action Plan team are back in the buzz and making exciting plans for the year ahead. Watch this space...
Just think, if as little as 1/4 of Somerset gardens provided this range of habitats, what great benefits to pollinators and other garden wildlife would follow...

A while ago I built a log store & put a green roof on to make more space for colour & pollinators. The kidney vetch has gone a bit crazy! So much better than roofing felt! #HomesForNature #ActionForInsects @SomersetWT @SomersetPollin1 @DaveGoulson @LGSpace
If you're a Somerset farmer, forester or land manager and would like to contribute towards the Somerset Pollinator Action Plan, please help by filling out the Buglife online survey below. Buglife launches the Landscapes for wild pollinators survey buglife.org.uk/news/buglife-l…

Are you are farmer, forester or land manager in England? Would you like to help deliver wildflower-rich habitat for pollinators across the countryside? Please help us by completing our new survey: buglife.org.uk/news/buglife-l…
Every garden can be extraordinary: city ones, balcony ones, even one-pot ones! All of them can be havens for insects. Discover how 👉 wildlifetrusts.org/take-action-in… @gardenorganicuk @WildlifeTrusts @SomersetPollin1 @Buzz_dont_tweet @LGSpace #ActionForInsects 🐞🐝

Well done to the local council, hopefully this is a nationwide thing that’s being done?!? 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Always wanted to name that wildflower? Plantlife’s #GreatBritishWildflowerHunt is for you! Our spotter sheets help you name 70 common wildflowers of gardens, towns, countryside & woods while you’re at home or exercising safely plantlife.org.uk/wildflowerhunt/
Did you know that without insects we wouldn’t have many of these wonderful foods? Can you imagine a world without strawberries, apples, chocolate & cider? Take #ActionForInsects today in your home & garden with your free guide: wildlifetrusts.org/take-action-in… 🍎🍓🍫 @Buzz_dont_tweet
Although a visit to the shops isn't possible, remember seeds for pollinators can still be bought online, plus one of the eastiest ways to help pollinators is to sit back and let your garden/green space 'go wild'. So ditch the mowever - at least in set aside areas and enjoy!
We're asking everybody to take #ActionForInsects! Professor @DaveGoulson explains why 👇🐝🌼 ow.ly/xT1Y50z7Dru @WildlifeTrusts @LGSpace @SomersetPollin1 @SWTwellbeing @SWTTaunton @SWTSimonC @SWTsteve @g_stokes18 @SWTcoast @AvalonMarshes @SWTlevels

@SomersetWT @SomersetERC @WildlifeTrusts @CountyGazette @bbcsomerset @SomersetPollin1 Thanks for your support!
We're pleased that #AgricultureBill is returning to Parliament TOMORROW. 73% of land in Somerset is farmed. It’s therefore vital we recognise the important role farmers can play in climate & nature's recovery @pow_rebecca @DJWarburton @JSHeappey @MarcusFysh @SWTSimonC @g_stokes18
Thanks to all that have sent so many lovely and kind messages about Nigel. It has meant a great deal. I have posted many more pictures of him on my website montydon.com. He is now in the garden and of the garden and we will celebrate his good life by living well.
@SomersetPollin1 @FieldOpsEA @EnvAgencySW @BumblebeeTrust @WildlifePhelps @NaturalEngland @SomersetWT @reelrivers Well-timed cutting regimes r fine - flood defences need to be inspected. But cutting in mid May is about as damaging as u can get and should really only happen if there is an overriding reason. Ideally April-late July should be a no-cut period. It already happens in some places.
@FieldOpsEA @EnvAgencySW But in a low rainfall period, surely the ground is more prone to dessication cracking if mown. I work a lot with you guys, I'm not an adversary. But cutting like this does not make a lot of sense to me on any level, and does not automatically happen in all EA regions.
@FieldOpsEA @EnvAgencySW What do you mean by weeds? I guess u r referring to wildflowers such as Cow Parsley, Hogweed, Germander Speedwell, buttercups, clovers, cranesbills etc. England has a National Pollinator Strategy (DEFRA, 2014). All public bodies r supposed to be trying 2 halt pollinator declines.
We launch the Somerset #BLines! A new prioritised network linking wildflower-rich sites for pollinators buglife.org.uk/news/buglifes-… @SomersetWT @SomersetCouncil @NaturalEngland @DefraNature @MendipHillsAONB @quantockhills @ExmoorNP @nationaltrust
Are you are farmer, forester or land manager in England? Would you like to help deliver wildflower-rich habitat for pollinators across the countryside? Please help us by completing our new survey: buglife.org.uk/news/buglife-l…
Cowslips have golden yellow, bell-shaped flowers with five petals & dark green leaves. They can be found in meadows, on grassland, verges & in gardens. They are a valuable source of spring nectar for pollinators. Have you seen any recently? @Love_plants @SomersetPollin1
