Environment Latest News Feb 2025

February 3, 2025

Now February is upon us and spring is on the way it’s time to finish the winter garden jobs and help our feathered friends. For advice on feeding the birds (particularly now that bird flu is prevalent) see https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/helping-birds-and-wildlife

If you are pruning hedges, shrubs and climbers, be careful not to disturb any birds that may already have started nesting. Remember that birds are protected. It’s worth checking what to do and when, both for your benefit and the benefit of the birds and their young. See:

 The same goes for cleaning out a pond i.e. look out for frogs, newts and other wildlife and be careful to look after them. They will provide lots of interest in the spring .
